Oops, did i forget to post that to the list?
Sorry.  i must be really slipping these days.
i don't have a copy of R14 to test so i can't p[lay with it.

yes it seems that a number of people have had AcadR14 running on Wine.
it does require a few special hacks, but they seem to be very happy with it.

newer versions have not been reported running yet.  only R14 and older.
hope these links come thru ok.  if not go groups.google.com and search from the
wine group for "autocad R14".
