IMHO, first IO libraries need to be ported to Linux. Also it does not make any sense to port VEE to Linux due to very limited number of users worldwide.
There might be a way to run it in linux using Wine or Crossover, but I doubt that it will all work. Maybe you will be able to run programs that involve Vee only but I dont think you will be able to communicate with instruments.
I will do the test on crossover linux anyways and see what happens also I wanted to try running runtime versions of programs at least with no instrument communication.
