Hmm, didnt we had this discussion a bit earlyer? (I mean this about linux).

So I repeat me agian, my Server was running the complete year 2009 on linux without big problems (only sometimes had some download problems...).
What for cycling problems do you have? (Access Violation?, is jj doing nothing (hanging)?,...), cycling worked all the time on my server...

You can use native dlls from windows XP as example too (possible its fixing your problems)

If I where you I would try older wine versions i used something with 0.9.x (i think it was 0.9.6 or 0.9.2).

JJ2 itself works since years with wine (as you can see on WineHQ)...
