MSDE on linux

there are some crazy people that tried to install MSDE/SQL server on linux (with wine)?
P.S.
When a commercial guy ask you if something can be done, don't answer "maybe", because he'll get it as a "sure"...It is possible to do using Windows emmulation on Linux. But I wouldn't count on its stability.

MSDE License when used with non-Microsoft database.

MSDE would make a great local cache in my app that uses dialup networking.
However, the App comminicates with sybase running on Linux.
Am I allows to use MSDE this way? Or should I use an open source database
for a local cache?
Thanks
From http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/howtobuy/msdeuse.asp it looks like
you're ok using MSDE.
