This information will be of interest to you if you run Linux. If you don't, well... shame on you .... but hey it's your loss. Even if Windows or MacOS is your main platform, every responsible and human-aware cyber citizen should have some amount of Linux distro experience. After all, what do you think is powering that Android smartphone of yours that you use to send grandma flowers on "send-grandma-some-flowers-now" day? Yep, another Linux distro.


Update January 2012 --- Eureka?

We recently heard of Play on Linux - based on Wine(?) and have heard that Dogwaffle may run in Linux that way.



We're not quite there yet....    (that was as of June 2011)

Over time, the Wine project has made great strides and progress in supporting Windows apps under Linux. For Project Dogwaffle, we're seeing some challenges still with the latest versions that use .Net framework 4, but it seems that earlier versions have a chance to run. Seems like Wine can't handle all the OLE stuff.

You may want to use CrossOver for Linux (also available for Mac). It's from the great minds at CodeWeavers. It's based on Wine, and then some. Just do it, support them, support the cause, and help feed a starving programmer.

Here's a screenshot reported by Andras Horvath, using straight Wine. Andras is the author of aaPhoto color balancing magic and other great software at log69.com

Unfortunately, while this looked promising at first, it didn't go beyond the initial start... when painting, or interacting with some menus or tools, things get hairy.
