The problem with most serious applications, including Linux, is that there
are better alternatives on the PC anyway. So few people actually had
Falcons/TTs it means there are very few killer apps that will only run on
those computers. For running Linux under Windows your best bet is probably
Cygwin, works very well for me.

I don't think so, it would be a huge job even if it was possible.

No, not a problem, but I think Falcon/TT emulation is a challenge for
someone else. :)
Thanks,
