Linux, Wine, Window SMP, and bigadv

I can confirm that the 6.30 Windows binary runs just fine under Wine in Linux (verified in Debian 5.04, Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04.1.) Does someone have a bigadv-capable machine currently running Linux that could try a bigadv unit? My little Athlon X2 mobile vintage 2005 can't do it, unfortunately. It looks like I'll catch my SR-2 or Gulftown at the end of a unit tomorrow evening to try it, but I'd like to know if it will work before I go through the trouble. I'd really like to get rid of Windows on most of my boxen if I don't take a major ppd hit. I have nothing to compare SMP times on this laptop to, so I have no idea how efficient this is. I looks like you have to run it from the Wine Command Prompt window, and not the Linux terminal window, even if you run "wine cmd" from the terminal window.
 
And the second I post, the client crashes with an "unstable machine" error and flushes the work unit...I guess its back to Windows...
 
didnt have a chance to find out today, gonna try tomorrow
 
Well, I failed miserably. It may have something to do with Wine being a 32 bit emlation of Windows(? - no idea if this is true) and running out of the 3Gb limit on memory. This is the SR-2, so it is -smp 16. When it was running, it was using under 2Gb of memory.
 
musky, there is a gentleman here running the Windows SMP client via wine successfully and Hyperlife is now running the Windows SMP client via wine on his PC-BSD servers so it should be possible.

There's no evidence that -bigadv will work, however. The real accomplishment there was the fact that he got around the 64-bit requirement for running SMP units under Linux. -bigadv may still not be possible.
