I'd be very surprised if this was supported, let alone the issue of it
working. But hey, I've been wrong before! ;)
Unfortunately I don't have a Linux box to test this on, so I can't really
answer the question. If someone else does who doesn't mind a bit of time
playing with this, it would be interesting to see if it did work.
