Linux is great! It can do everything Windows can do - and more. Moreover, it's completely free and very customisable.

Linux is a perfectly normal OS. Lots of everyday items run Linux - e.g. digital video recorders and mobile phones (Android is based on Linux).

Anyway, I'm digressing somewhat. If the game isn't available on Linux then you may want to try something like CrossOver for Linux which is similar to WINE but is more user-friendly (IMHO). I have been able to successfully install and run EHM 2007 using CrossOver on Ubuntu. The company that develops CrossOver (Codeweavers) frequently offer discounts on the software. I seem to recall paying about £15 for it.
