Nope its not. DB uses DirectX which the *nix's don't use (thought can emulate to some degree).

I picked up a Magic 8 ball th other day and it said "Outlook not so good".
I replyed "I know, but Microsoft ships it anyways."

It's not natively Linux compatible and probably never will be.

DBC programs run fine under linux with WINE. Wine is NOT an emulator, but a compatibility layer, so it doesn't slow down much nor does it take up an absurd amount of resources like dual booting or emulating...
