I'm still in the painful learning phase of ebooks, but I have Adobe Digital Editions 4.5 running on a Debian Linux workstation with Windows 7 running in VirtualBox. I have successfully authorized the VirtualBox windows 7 with ADE. And I have gotten a library book from OverDrive in ADE.

A painful part is I am struggling with how to read the OverDrive book through Calibre.

In conclusion, ADE 4.5 has worked form me in VirtualBox on Linux. YMMV as this is a nerdly thing to accomplish.
