- In the short run there will be no genuine Linux version of TARGET 3001!.
- TARGET 3001! being a Windows program should run under Linux without any problems using the Windows compatibility layer "Wine". Please check whether it runs in your environment as well.

A customer reports:
I had been running Ubuntu10.10 for some time with VMWare for my windows programs. Then one day after an update my X window was no longer present. It turned out that there was a lock file active that I didn't know about till much later ... In any even I ended up updating to Ubuntu 11.10 and then 12.04 in an effort to get everything back to normal. Unfortunately by that time VMWare would no longer work and in talking to VMWare it was apparent that they would no have their act together for a LONG time. [...] On the other hand I love Ubuntu. Especially KUbuntu which uses KDE and Qt. Very, very nice graphics!
But I really needed to get back my Target 3001. What to do? Late last night I thought, what about WIne? Wow, was I surprised! Loading Target was effortless. It appears to work great. You and PCB-Pool should make a point of telling everyone how well it runs on Ubuntu.
