I have been running SC on Linux for over 2 years now and here's what I would recommend... You can run SC under wine and it will work perfectly fine either Non-.NET/CLR or regular version (takes more effort to get working and versions needing .NET 4.0 are not fully supported) see this thread if you are still interested in this route... http://www.sierrachart.com/supportboard/showthread.php?t=32719&highlight=linux When I was running under Wine I used the regular version and installed the Wine components listed on that link and was able to get most all features working including spreadsheets. The only thing that would not work at the time was compiling code and chart replay... no biggie That was my setup about a year ago, Currently I cannot get the latest version to work under Wine due to the .NET 4.0 requirement so I've moved everything to a virtual Windows 7 machine running under QEMU-KVM. I run TWS using the native Linux version with OpenJDK java and it works really flawlessly for me. So to sum up, if you want the latest version of SC to work properly on Linux run under a Windows virtual machine (either QEMU-KVM or VirtualBox will work fine) and use IB's TWS for UNIX. OR you can try to use the Non .NET version under Wine as an alternative to having a Windows license. You should be good to go, this setup is extremely reliable for me.
