Hey, since this program is open source, can I put it on a Linux OS?

No problem.
If you will give it a try.
But it won't work out of the box.
MP relies heavily on DirectX 9.
There are already some threads about porting MP to linux.
Just do a search.

It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...
