There are some new pages on the CCP14 site on compiling/install the Wine Windows Emulator for Linux. In theory, this allows you to run Windows programs on Linux as though they were a native Linux binary - though with greater or lesser degrees of success depending on the software. Keep in mind that while much Windows software may not be 100% functional under Wine, it could give you enough to get the job done. Overall, a surprising number of Crystallographic Windows programs have quite usable functionality with some like ESPOIR and LMGP Suite software having near perfect functionality.
