Additional Comments
I did not manage to install it on Wine. The workaround is to install it in Windows, then copy the installation directory to the Wine virtual drive. Patching can be done either in Windows prior to copying or directly in Wine.
This can be solved for some clients by setting "MouseThread=off" in every uo.cfg (there are many for each character and one global).
Problems running uo.exe
You can safely use client.exe for the game and run uopatch.exe from time to time manually.
Connecting to free shards
You have to disable encryption for your client:
Either you can find already patched client for your shard (browse the shard forums). And you can run it like the normal one (tested by Plague).
Or you can patch the client yourself using UO Rice (some say this can be only done on Windows and before any patching) and then run the patched client. (suggested by sk8dork, not tested by Plague).

how to install on current versions

Just a fyi...i thought it was completely broken and followed the instructions via bug 21650. What was extracted in my version of the installer was the mythic patching program and NOT the entire program ready to run (no client.exe). However, and upon running the patcher it seemed to just exit without error.
I gave up and worked on my computer for a bit, then went to get something to eat.
When i got back...the client was installed. It's not broken..just really...really slow.
