glfer can be set to have better displayed resolution than the default by 
adjusting the program options. So you are not limited by what you see on 
the default startup screen.

I've had very little trouble using Wine with most soundcard apps. MSSTV 
and MMTTY also work in Wine. I'm using Mandriva 2008.1 here. Have used 
Mandriva releases for a long time now, but am skipping 2009.0 until the 
2009.1 release of a newer KDE 4 version.

Current Wine version is 1.11, so not sure if that is the package you are 
using. In general, with Mandriva and alsa/portaudio/pulseaudio, I have 
found the best performance setting in Wine is to use the emulated OSS 
audio interface. Just make sure to have the alsa-oss emulation package 
installed and you are all set. For some reason the sample rate 
conversion routines seem to work better on the machines I have tested 
this on. But try them all and see what works the best for you particular 
machine.

Operation has been pretty simple under Wine.

WSJT and WSPR are buildable natively in Linux, and I see some of the 
lowfer folks have been using these apps also of late.
