[BaseCamp] BaseCamp on Linux ??

[saddle sore]

Thanks for the input.  I have heard about running Wine for BaseCamp.
Something new to look into.  I'm not aware of Virtualbox, so I'll have to
read up on that.

4G of RAM is all this older CF-30 can handle according to the research.
But for what I plan to use it for, 4G is not bad.  Yeah Jerry, it may not
be up to today's standards but it should operate fine for my needs.    I'll
try it out for a while and see.

Anyone with hands-on experiences running BaseCamp on Linux, I'd appreciate
hearing any woes as well as the good points.  I've had good experience
running it with Windows for years.
