Linux Compatibility

[etuaz]

Is there any chance a linux compatible version of ibike 2 could be developed? I just bought an Asus Eee PC ultra portable notebook that runs linux (xandros). Its only 2 pounds and would be perfect to bring on bike tours to download ibike ride files before its memory fills up. I'm a linux newbie so any of the techies out there let me know if there's a workaround. Thanks.

Hi I am running The software on a linux box but not direct. I have installed VMWARE server (free) and I have a Windows environment running Ibike2, cyclingpeaks and my mapping software for the GPS tracker.

Works great the only issue I had was initially to get USB ports get it up and working (there are enough help forums on the net to get you around that issue.

When I travel I move the vmware from my destop to my laptop.

Hi. I've tried installing ibike 2 using both Wine and Crossover but haven't been successful. It hangs in the middle of the install. Thanks for the advice on VMware server. I'll try that next.

See http://www.ibikeforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=404 regarding installing ibike for ubuntu linux. I got iBike for Windows to work under Ubuntu using Virtual Box (and an old Win 2K install CD).
