Yup.  I've been using it since March on Linux.  Originally had a copy licensed 
on 95 (that was before I knew it was available for Linux.)  One day just for 
giggles I tried a number of things on both systems (I've got 95 and Linux 
running on the same box, a 486-100 with 16 mg memory).  I averaged 25-30% 
better performance on the Linux boot, and have had no problems with system 
hangups or crashes, something I would get very occasionally under 95.

Don't know how 3.0 is going to do---can't afford the upgrade yet.
