No, CF only runs on Sparc Solaris.

There aren't really any serious code-specific issues of which I'm aware, but
it's still a platform change, and you're likely to run into some
Solaris-specific problems. This is especially true as you start doing more
advanced things, like using Advanced Security (not provided on Linux).
Your best bet is to bite the bullet, and go get a Sparc box. Fortunately,
you don't have to get a good Sparc box. You can get one of the Ultra 5
workstations, which run about $4,000 or so.
