Thanks- Crossover, not Parallels.  I suspected that it was just Wine on the
Mac, but as far as I knew no one had actually tried it under Linux or Ubuntu
directly; it's nice to know that works too (for those of us who aren't
Mackers).  Of course real ports are needed, and that is not far off (for the
VM at least).  What is interesting is that system stability appears to be
pretty much independent of these OS emulators (at least on Ubuntu).

But VM stability certainly is the main issue.  Fortunately a lot of the
instability appears to also be independent of the compiler, which should
make it easier to fix.
