The only thing I can suggest is looking into a program called Wine that lets you run windows software on Linux and use the windows Client.

There should be some tutorial on this that you can follow. Perhaps there are other programs that let you do this, but you need to google them yourself i'm afraid.

i don't have that kind of patience to figure out this linux thing..............

I have been trying to get linpal to run for a while now and its finally been solved on the Ubuntu forums
Unfortunately, the version of linpal currently in existance has many draw backs, so if your in palace for the avs or bing staff somewhere, just run palace32 under wine...
but if you want linpal i am intending to host a fixed copy once i get somewhere to host it or get my own server back up, or you can make the one simple change to make linpal compile.

in the gtkbigpage.h file add
class GtkBubble;

right before the line
class BigPage : PalCallback{

after you do this linpal-0.5 should compile with out a problem.
