I heared from several people that cs2d (max) runs fine on wine
I can confirm this.
CS2D is running quite decent on Ubuntu 8.04 with wine-1.0. If you have a newer version and it doesn't work, you should file a regression bug at http://winehq.org
The only bug I've found is that when you use the virtual desktop setting and click outside your virtual desktop window while moving, CS2D doesn't interrupt the movement and you keep moving until you get into a menu (ESC)
