I have used this program on my friends pc and have enjoyed it. what is the possibility that this program will be ported to a linux platform in the future?
If you use the forum search capability to search for "Linux," you will find previous discussion. You can also look for terms such as "snowball" and "hell."
I believe I read that Noteworthy works well under WINE.

I have no idea how well it works, but apparently it does work.
