Prime95 is available on Linux. It's called mprime and you can
download it from:
ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/mprime.tar.gz (glibc 2.1.3)
ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/sprime.tar.gz (static)
I even maintain a Debian package for it called prime-net. You will
find it in the non-free/misc section.
Of course, for version V21.1.1, I believe you're right.

I tried this but it does not work well. I could start prime95 once
using 'wine --managed ./PRIME95.EXE' but couldn't start it again after
that.

The greatest programming project of all took six days; on the seventh day the
programmer rested. We've been trying to debug the *&^%$#@ thing ever since.
Resume: design before you implement.
