Interesting, and thanks!! Does it work with Ubuntu with all usual 
functions? How about Quattro Pro and Presentations? I know that the 
current version of X3 has not worked well with Crossover.

Anyone know why this beta of X3 is "phoning home" or something?  When
I 
open it, there appears to be a constant running internet connection, at 
least on a Windows machine. I have WP12 on the same WinXP machine and it 
does not do that.

I'm going to try it on LinuxMint 4.0 (an Ubuntu derivative).

This is the link they sent me, not sure if it will work for anyone else

I was told it is checking for updates. Since it is a beta, I guess that 
makes sense. I am not sure if it will time out or not.

Thanks, Dave. I sort of thought it might be an update thing, but it 
never seemed to stop, even after about 10 minutes. I got worried, so I 
shut it off.

I tried to install it on the latest Wine on LinuxMint, and couldnt get 
past the License Acceptance screen. I haven't put Crossover on this 
machine yet.

Well, I installed Crossover on my LinuxMint machine and on the first 
X3ODF attempt, it errored out on the Internet Explorer requirement. I 
Installed IE6, and that install went just fine. I tried X3ODF again, and 
this time I got a little farther into the install, but it stopped on 
some cryptic error message while it was setting up the install script. 
I'll try it again on a pure Ubuntu machine.

I assume from your post subject here that you actually have X3ODF 
running on Ubuntu. Any suggestions?
