Talking FRC Driver Station on Linux!

Hello all!

Dunno is this has been done before (from searches all I find are unsuccessful attempts), but I've managed to get FRC Driver Station working under wine.

I'm running Arch Linux x64 with a 32-bit wineprefix, mono, and dotnet20sp1 installed.
I installed the 2012 NI Runtime (32-bit) and then the 2013 Driver Station, and after a bit of fiddling it now controls the robot without a hitch!

No problems so far, minus the fact that it registers 4 joysticks as being connected (I only have 2).

Just felt like sharing, in case anyone else was wondering if this was possible.

P.S.: Would this setup be legal at an FRC competition? I plan to try it out during practice day at GTRW, after checking with the judges of course. There's nothing in the rules AFAIK that says we must use Windows.
P.P.S: I wasn't sure what to do with the images so I put them on imgur. If you would like me to resize them and attach them or simply move them to another host just say so.
