I run Mandriva Linux on my computer with WinXP on my computer. I would dump windows on my computer, but B3d does not run on Linux. Is there any hack/upgrade/easy way of getting it to run, or is support in the pipeline?Can I use an emulator?

not sure it will work for you, but check out Wine and WineX. i would try Wine first which probably already has a distro available from your package manager. ive run both, but WineX i only ran playing games. ive actually done windows development (not in B3D) using Wine.

if you do manage to build EXEs using one of the above projects, be sure to test that EXE on a native windows machine to be sure it will work for you. i think the general consensus in any development is to build the final distribution EXE on a native machine just to be sure.

I suspect the answer is "No", and "use BlitzMax".

No. Use BlitzMAX.
