I don't know this for sure, but you might want to also try this thread in the tech help Forums as well Strjder.

Not that I use LInux myself, but there's a windows emulator for Linux ... called WINE

http://www.winehq.com

I think SPWAW runs in WINE.. again, I don't use Linux, so I woudn't know.

Hope This Helps

WINE Is Not an Emulator! Get it???

I had SPWaW running on Redhat 7.2 using Wine a couple times without any problems. Check out the link Resisti posted for info on your Wine settings.

Good Luck.
