I was able to install the executable version of minecraft.jar for Linux, but I cannot seem to be able to install Modloader or any mods. I install the mod like I would on a PC- delete META-INF and then move the class files to minecraft.jar. Once I install Modloader and the mod which I was trying to install, which was the Timber mod, I try to execute the file and it doesn't load.

Perhaps you just did it with the minecraft launcher. This is also a jar file for linux. Are you sure you edited the file ~/.minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar and no other?
