Yes, I have, two of them fail entirely to start, and the third starts,
but crashes quickly.  As each also has its own hardware drivers, I
suspect it would be harder getting it to work in Wine than writing
fresh.  They are currenty in VMware Player because they do not work
correctly in VirtualBox either.  (I wanted the VM to be open source as
well, but no such luck).  If anyone has suggestions on other open
source virtual environments, I'm willing to try so I can eliminate
VMware.  (Long term goal is 100% open source).
