Linux Compatibility

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

installing ibike for ubuntu linux. I got iBike for Windows to work under Ubuntu using Virtual Box (and an old Win 2K install CD).
