I initially figured that this was an attack on FOSS since I was looking up where to install gdm themes and all the linux sites said they were potentially harmful.
On that note, you might want to take a look at the Guilds already in existence. These are all fan-run groups that are working on the future of Uru and have been since before the servers were even shut down.
In particular, the Guild of Writers has made many fan-created ages already using Blender and a custom plugin for Myst. I have no doubt that with the release of the Myst Online source from Cyan their tools will become even more refined, and lead to much greater development from the fans.
If the Uru community has shown anything, it is that they are resourceful, determined, and refuse to let Myst die no matter how much time or effort they need to spend.
I have not yet tried other pads (a dual trigger snare is my next planned upgrade once I get some more money), though reports from the Rock Band forums tell me that some work and others do not. The thread with most of the information in one place is this one:
I tend to disagree with their "work slightly" conclusion on the CY-8's, though, as I have three that work better than the Alesis cymbals that come with the kit.
As it seems from the ion drum website, these are actual electronic drums that you can also hook up to a drum computer (at least one of the same brand).
The bit about needing the same brand is a myth propagated by the folks at ION to sell Alesis drum brains. I currently have a Roland TD-3 Drum brain hooked up to my ION Drums and everything works just fine. Feel free to mix and match drums as you please. You can also use Roland V-Drum Cymbals with the ION controller brain and suffer no adverse consequences.

I know there are at least 5 people currently playing on Linux using WINE, because I have talked to them in-game.
This thread has a discussion about how to get things up and running in linux.
For the time being, Cyan is running the servers on donations from users.
If you like the game, feel free to donate and keep it running.
The donate button is at the bottom fo this page here.

You're only saying that because I'm white!

Little did I know it was really skynet.
Seems to me that was about the turnaround time for "Idle is pants" as well.

Slashdot readers typically don't need to worry about that one...

What about noble goals like robots destroying humanity? I know I'm doing my part.
