Do you guys know if Visual bb will work with WINE on Fedora 14?

I tried a while ago using Ubuntu, and failed.

If I recall correctly, the sticking point seemed to be that Visual bB uses a version of .NET not supported under Wine.

A virtual machine is the only way I know how to run VbB in Linux. It does run under QEMU with a WinXP disk image in Linux but admittedly it is a little slow this way.

There is a batari compiler but I'm used to the visual stuff so it's hard to type out playfields and characters and such
