I have roadrunner+winamp+iGuidance running under ubuntu Hardy with wine 0.9.54. I'm in the preliminary testing phase right now, but will have a more solid review in a couple of weeks after I throw it in the car and see how it does. This is more of a "can it be done" type of thing for me, not much to gain... if anything I'll be losing stability and speed by using wine and linux to run these types of windows progs.

However my test run of iG3 running under wine alone went very well on an 1150 mile trip. Only hiccup I saw was on suspend/resume, my GPS would reattach to ttyUSB1 instead of ttyUSB0 and vice versa, so I had mapped both to com4 and com3 respectively under wine and switched between the two in iG.

I am however really looking forward to nGhost maturity. That looks to be one awesome and promising project.
