I think Lith plays HoMM3 (or at least played) under Linux. Look for WINE.

I wished I had Linux myself, but unfortunately I have Win98.

I believe that WINE can help you. It's a Win32 layer for linux, available for several versions of glibc. WINE can be obtained from here: http://www.winehq.com/.

official disclaimer: I haven't tested it myself.

so many options...

actually there was a native port of HoMM3 (RoE) for linux but I doubt it would work with WoG...

so, we are down to two options... WINE or WineX, both essentially the same thing... last time I checked, HoMM3 (and 4) was supported so I guess playing WoG under linux is not impossible...

I don't see where there would be a problem since WoG uses an enhanced version of SoD's exe file.  But to my knowledge this has never been tested so I can't say for sure.

You see, Win32 and Linux executables are of different architecture, so one can't be executed under other system in a "raw" (unmodified) form without special emulators. The same happens with Win32 & Mac and with Linux & Mac. They all use different exe file structures.

 Right, but difference between Win and Linux (based on the same type of CPU) is not so big as for Win-Mac or Linux-Mac (based on different types of CPU). To run Win soft on Linux you need to "adjust" an executable start up code, DLL management, graphical requests "on a fly". And this will slow down the work (or make it impossible to run in some cases). But the general machine code run the same way and need no simulation.
 Porting to Mac system needs also a machine code simulation that is much more slower and make it impossible to run in more cases.
