I think you'd need an emulator like Wine or something like that.

I'm not much of a linux guy.

Ive heard its possible. Ive also tried and failed myself.
But then again, im not very skilled in the art of linux.
Check out a linux support IRC channel. Those guys are amazing (at least in the Ubuntu one)

Edit, wahoo, tagged this thread , like this new version of vbulliten, GJ again ian.
