+###HOSTING ON LINUX
+We use BYGEX for some of our text replacement related code. Unfortunately, we
+only have a windows dll included right now. If you're up to it, you can head
+over to https://code.google.com/p/byond-regex/ and compile it for linux.
+
+Otherwise, edit the file `code/_compile_options.dm`, and comment out:
+`#define USE_BYGEX`
+at the bottom, so that it looks like this:
+`//#define USE_BYGEX`
+Recompile the codebase afterwards.
