I use Linux, but I don't have ADE installed. (I have a Windows partition on a laptop that I use when ADE is necessary, almost never since the Tolino and my Sony devices have ADE built-in.) But I do know that ADE can be made to work under Wine, though I think you have to use version 2.01.

Here's a "howto" website for installing ADE under Wine. (This information is available -- somewhere -- on these forums but this is the first link that came up when I did a Google search.)

Others (those who've got ADE working under Linux) should be able to give more and better help here. But it can be done. (I see the article links a Mobileread Wiki.)
