Some of our customers run successfully our apps on Wine. Everything in VFP seems to work fine. The activex controls had to be registered manually though (batch file). Reports run fine and sharing tables on a network is ok too. Windows themes are not shown by default (Windows 2000). I've also talked to users who installed our VFP apps on Mac, with Wine, with similar success.
Nevertheless, IMHO, a TS Server (or similar) on the LAN and RDP clients will give better performances,
