Yes, but with limited functionality. I am on Wine 1.1.31 and iNav v5r4
and Ubuntu 9.10.
5250 emulation does not work, though Jeff Zaroyko at Wine says he has it
working, though the font is quite small.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15181 He says he will work on the
font when he gets some free time. Wine is mainly volunteer help as I
understand it.
I can load the full version of v5r4, but if I try to get to the
properties of an action, iNav in Wine fails. I can see printouts,
shares, servers that are started. Just some more finer details won't
work. Seems like IBM could throw a body Wine's way and we would have it
complete.
Also I am wondering why IBM can't port iNav to Linux. iNav is a Java
application which should be platform independent and if I understand
correctly, the Operations Console is a Linux machine and their version
of iNav works there. Seems like they are almost there. Same thoughts for
RDI. Eclipse works fine on Linux.

I saw Aaron Bartell's message about this new list over on WDSCI-L, and
one of the topics that he listed caught my eye. My primary work PC
runs WinXP, but my secondary machine is my home PC running Linux. Right
now, I use rdesktop to connect to my work PC to do anything. The
biggest reason I do that is because I consider iSeries Nav to be a
necessity. I tried running it under WINE but got nowhere. Has anyone
had any luck running iSeries Nav (or iNav if you prefer) on Linux?
