I think Cumulus works with Wine, but I don't think Wine has support for USB, so the only other way that I can think of would be to run Windows using something like VMware. Having said that, this thread suggests that USB might work with Wine after all - http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=106298.0

I'm working on a cross-platform version of Cumulus which will almost certainly work with Ubuntu, but I'm still some way off releasing even a test version.

My Linux server is currently down, thanks to a faulty power supply. I just tried Cumulus for the first time on my Windows 7 machine and love it. My new power supply should be in on Thursday and I plan on testing Cumulus in Wine shortly thereafter.
