OK. I will definitely test TG2. I can even create a USB boot drive with 32 bit Linux and Wine. I know TG2 works under Wine. There was only one issue with icons not there and the little colour block previews (this was the annoying part). There was a bit of render slow down compared to Windows but not huge.
The 64 bit sounds interesting. I have TG2 but haven't followed what is happening with it lately. Apparently I can in fact run TG2 32 bit in wine on a 64 bit Linux system. I've also read that you can run 64 bit apps with this. This is very confusing. As far as I understood it, Wine was currently 32 bits.
