John,
I tried getting Legacy to run under WINE about 6 months ago (Using CentOS 5
as the op sys). I took it along to our local Linux User Group and spent a
couple of hours on it one evening with a couple of guys who are experts on
Linux. I can't remember what the exact problem was but we failed and
abandoned the idea.

Legacy requires Windows or a very good emulator.
It *might* be possible to run Legacy on a Linux box IF you can get a
version of WINE for the Linux box and IF Legacy works OK under WINE (I
don't know because I haven't tried it). Unless someone can verify that
this configuration will work, the Linux box might not be a good choice.
If you want to use Linux directly, there are genealogy programs available
and you can exchange data with Legacy via GEDCOM files - but not with the
integration of Pocket Genealogist.

I'm considering purchasing a small portable computer running Linux
(Asus).
Does anyone have experience running Legacy with Linux. Considering I've
never used Linux and am not familiar with it - what probelms should I
expect. My main purpose for purchasing this computer is it's small size
(about 10" screen) but larger than my iPAQ running pocket genealogist.
Thanx for all input on or off list.
John
