WINE should be usable if the Linux onboard is a standard one. Ubuntu is
fairly standard - and that's what they are showing it off with.
I believe someone from the QL community has already had contact with
them about getting SBASIC or similar on.
I doubt that this will work. SBASIC is written in 68000 assembler and
the ARM chip runs its own assembly language - I doubt that the two are
compatible.
Unless someone writes a version of SBASIC in C or C++ perhaps (Now that
would make Tony Tebby's eyes water!) which would compile (and hopefully
run) on the ARM chip.

Yes, but for Windows only I'm afraid.
