Hello! I'm new around here. I'm fairly new to "D&D" style gaming. I'm currently playing D&D 4e. I just recently heard about Hero Lab and am giving it a try (hopefully the DDI setup will be done soon). I understand that Hero Lab comes with two licenses. It sounds a little restrictive, but I'm probably not the typical customer (having 4+ computers). In any case, I've been planning to wipe my primary laptop and install either Windows 8 or Ubuntu (not sure which version yet - probably either the latest version or whichever version came before the unity UI...10.04?). I'm not completely sure yet.
Getting to the point, it looks like Linux, unfortunately (though not surprisingly), isn't a supported platform. Does anyone have Hero Lab working well in Wine (or have I missed a Linux port somewhere)? Any issues with activation on Linux? I noticed some old threads with mixed results, but I was hoping for some recent experience. I'd also be curious what flavor and version of Linux you're running if you've been successful. If I end up purchasing Hero Lab, this may help me decide what to run on the laptop. I'm wanting to try out Windows 8 for a while (give it a fair try), but I've also been away from non-android Linux for a while and miss it.
