there's nothing similar.
people run HFS through wine (http://www.winehq.org/).
click on "search".

Runs with WINE perfectly.

Known Bugs:
-Missing icons, HFS uses windows default icons for files.
-Taskbar menu can be dodgy. Stays up at times and no way to close it unless u close HFS, i just don't use it.
-When selecting text in the template editor, only a problem when editing the template quickly, it continues to select characters above the line you are on as if stuck in a loop until mouseUp.

If your machine has enough memory, you can use a VM (=virtual machine) where you install any windows. A VM for windows with about 250 MBytes of real memory works fine, diskspace from 2GBytes upwards as are your needs will be OK.

Using virtual machines is a save way to run your HFS or any other server. Virtual machines are easy to backup (only a couple of files). If your server crashes, or fiendly visitors try to fill your (virtual!) diskspace with uploads until system crash, nothing happens to your base machine!

Free VMplayers (for linux and windows) are available from VMware.

Tested on Sabayon under Crossover and it ran fine.

I recommend Virtualbox (http://www.virtualbox.org) for all your virtualization needs. Opensource and runs natively under Linux, even 64bit Linux.

If at all possible, dont run any linux distro on a virtual machine, its just amazing amounts of crap.. done both, never got used to vmware, virtualbox, virtualpc none of them.. they are just not ready unless you just want to check out linux and not do anything that requires thought :|
