After some tinkering and guesswork, I've managed to get BrawlBox (.63d) in a perfectly working state within Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. The images and menu are somewhat skewed, but besides that - everything works as it should.
Because the instructions are followable in OSX as well, I have reason to believe that this will allow users to run BrawlBox in OSX too. Using *this* tutorial to install winetricks (uses 'darwinports' instead of WINE) on OSX, this technique should most likely be possible. Post below if you test via this method.
---------
Here's a simple tutorial I've whipped up. Reports of other versions of Ubuntu or other Linux Distros results would be much appreciated. I will add those results at the bottom.

Getting BrawlBox working within Ubuntu (+ other Linux Distros)
Components Required
WINE v1.1.42 (or higher)
Winetricks
• allfonts (instead of corefonts, tahoma, and liberation) [or separately]: corefonts, tahoma, liberation
• d3dx9 (helps)
• ie6 (helps)
• dotnet20 (install as windows version 2000)
• dotnet30 (install as windows version xp)
Step One:
Install WINE:
Wine v1.1.42 (or higher)
Installation:
Download and Install the wine installation that matches your Linux Distro (Ubuntu, Debian, etc) from here: http://www.winehq.org/site/download
----------------------------------------------------------
Step Two:
Install Winetricks:
Installation:
Enter this into terminal:
Follow instructions, and Install.
----------------------------------------------------------
Step Three:
Run Winetricks / Install Needed Components
How to install "allfonts"
• Alt + F2 to open "Run Application" dialogue.
• Type "sh winetricks" without the quotes.
• Select allfonts (or corefonts, tahoma, and liberation separately)
• Click ok, and Install.
Continue to install these one at a time in the order listed above. Refer to the images below for what settings WINE should have when installing dotnet20 and dotnet30.
To change the Default Windows installation environment in Wine by going to Applications >> Wine >> Configure Wine
(Settings for when installing dotnet20)
(Settings for when installing dotnet30)
Results:
Do not bother Kryal with Ubuntu / OSX related issues. Direct them to Jack H.
