We are currently working on a Linux version of SymLab and its add-ons. It should be ready in 2-3 weeks.
Our SymLab Linux installation should work on most Linux distributions, with a specific focus on the latest version of Ubuntuv7.10, Desktop Edition, 32 bit, x86 architecture (Pentium™, Celeron™, Athlon™, Sempron™).
We aren't planning on support for 64 bit, as our 32 bit version should run on both 32 and 64 bit machines. We have no plans either to support SUN Sparc.
These decisions are driven by our efforts to keep costs low and pass savings onto our customers in the form of affordable subscriptions.
If you have a good case as to why we should reconsider these decisions then please let us know.

SymLab on Linux: coming soon
Timely question.
We are currently working on a Linux version of SymLab and its add-ons. It should be ready in 2-3 weeks.
Our SymLab Linux installation should work on most Linux distributions, with a specific focus on the latest version of Ubuntu v7.10, Desktop Edition, 32 bit, x86 architecture (Pentium™, Celeron™, Athlon™, Sempron™).
what about 64bit
and dual core and SUN spar's
Yes to dual core
The linux version of SymLab will run great on a dual-core machine (such as Intel© Centrino© Duo), but won't exploit its parallel processing capabilities.
We aren't planning on support for 64 bit, as our 32 bit version should run on both 32 and 64 bit machines. We have no plans either to support SUN Sparc.
These decisions are driven by our efforts to keep costs low and pass savings onto our customers in the form of affordable subscriptions.
