Using Legacy on Ubuntu Linux

[swebby]

Legacy will not work using WINE. (or didn't last time they tested it)

Bummer.  Looks like I will have to use my windows vista to use Legacy that i already have.

I have tried Gramps but do not like it.

Is there a better one that is free

This one was mentioned in another thread. It will work on Ubuntu.

Not sure what it is like though.

Thanks very much for the link. I have downloaded it but  have put my question on the other thread that you have given the link for

Thanks

Yes, extract the files, but not yet until I have tried to use Legacy in Linux Mint which is compatable to Ubuntu using Wine. By the way Swebby, when was that test carried out (legacy/Wine on Ubuntu?)

I did manage to get PAF (Personal Ancestry File) from FamilySearch working on Linux a couple of years ago using WINE.  It simply copied over files from C:\Program Files\FamilySearch.  Although it worked, it didn't look and feel the same as it did on Windows - but as it is free you might want to have a look at it.
