I think you should change the title too from Linux to Linux Ubuntu too. Because There are many other versions of Linux that we use mostly, uBuntu is only for Kids only.

Old thread, but just to clear things up. Arch linux, ubuntu, the kernel is all the same under the hood. Infact Freebsd, and all bsd's can run wine. If you have the patience to tweak things it will work "sometimes". Running this under wine is still buggy as hell.
