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.

You have to remember that Linux is not windows. So, I would try to limit your programming to what Foxpro can do within itself. In otherwords Activex are not Foxpro per se. API calls are not either. There is a chance that activex will work, or API calls also, but I would avoid those.
