Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer, had the nice realization that EVERYTHING on my pc worked right out of the box, my graphics card, my sound, even my netgear wireless adapter (most surprising). Thought i'd test my luck and install VRC through wine, sure enough, it worked. And I mean everything worked, voice, text, graphic, everything.
Pair this up with TS3, and X plane 9, and you got an awesome Aviation combo.
