I personally use VirtualBox to get some use of my legal windows license, that came with the computer. Sure, I can't run high performance apps/3d aps with it, but for almost anything, it's sufficient, and it's much less of a hassle than WinE

Wasn't trying to come across as whiny... hope I didn't anyway. I just thought I'd point out that a number of the forum members use Linux instead of Windows. I was hoping that Eric could do it with a simple recompile but I am ignorant with respect to C#, so I wasn't sure how easy it would be to do it. Since it seems to be a big deal I'll just try WINE now that I remembered it exists... @:-)

Recompiling C# should not be neccessary, since technically, they run on a virtual machine (the .net framework) and a port of said virtual machine exists (mono) but MS makes everything it can to keep the compatibility at minimums, specially for the GUI elements. If you release the source, it might be possible to see if it compiles under Mono, and thus if it's possible to run it under it.
