It may be possible using WINE on Linux, but then again, maybe not.  WINE is kind of hit-or-miss.

Freebox use Visual Basic as language and hence it not portable to Linux (Freebox also use a lots of Windows calls)....

I could port MultiFE to Linux, but by now its by hold. But should not take that long.

The older versions use active movie and the new ones link into media player i am not sure if either can be supported by wine. I think the old V2 had some success running under wine but the newer versions no.

Ahh, ok.

I'm fairly new to linux (well, modern linux anyway), so I'm still exploring a lot of stuff.  Still can't get MAME up and running, lol.   :banghead:
