While there may be subtle reasons why it isn't officially listed, I
have successfully run Calculus Wiz on Linux with no problems.  
Since anything based on Mathematica notebooks should be platform
independent, you should in general be able to run almost anything
almost anywhere.  The "almosts" mean that some functions, such as system
specific things like sound, may vary.
