For installing Dude on linux:

For starting Dude: "gksudo wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Dude/dude.exe" I just added that on the wiki

You must choose "connect", select "remote" and "127.0.0.1" (loopback) for local login in the server (*real* "local" mode doesn't work under wine).
"Remote connection by default uses TCP port 2210 for regular mode, and TCP port 2211 for secure mode, so make sure these ports are not limited by a firewall. The ports may be changed in the server's Global Settings menu. The default username for connecting to a server is “admin” with no password. You can change this later."

hope this solves your issues (took me a while to realize this and changing ownership to .wine just messed up my .drmc, so, don't do that
)
PD: tested on 8.04
