Hi ya,
My old laptop that I've been using to tune my car has given up the ghost and i've replaced it with an Acer One Netbook, but it runs Linux operating system.
Will I need to install windows xp to get the Nistune software running or is there any way I can run it through Linux?
Thanks a lot, Ben.

You can try if NIStune runs with WINE under Linux but I think that there are issues with the USB-Driver for the data cable.
Here you can grab WINE: http://www.winehq.org/download

I haven't tried it by myself but perhaps you want test it out.

Nistune runs under WINE as another user was reporting they were going that way. Not sure how they went with the FTDI Linux drivers, but if you are able to use those drivers okay and get WINE to use them then shouldnt be a problem

I'm not testing it and they never indicated how they went with the drivers
