0.9.40 is what I've been running lately. 0.9.42 and later has standard file dialog bugs that popped up in another program. Last time I tried running CiderPress, I may have been running something between 0.9.30 and 0.9.39 (inclusive).
I just went back to a 64 bit Linux on my laptop (amd64 / XUbuntu 7.04 Fiesty). A quick Google to find the amd64 package repository info. Wine version 0.9.43-winehq-ubuntu-7.04-1 is running Ciderpress. I did a clean install from the Setup.exe (ver. 3.0). Only issue I had was a missing dll, mfc42.dll. Placed a copy into the Windows\system32 folder and so far Ciderpress runs ok.
My other suggestion would be using an HFS volume or disk image. There are some useful HFS utilities available for Linux but this approach may require some system changes. Your kernel needs support for HFS file systems and possibly HFS partition support.I have HFS+ support (and, by extension, HFS) on most of my systems now. I needed that so I could do firmware updates of my iPod from my Mac mini instead of a Windows box. (About all that was needed were some extra kernel config options and mac-fdisk. diskdev, now that it's been ported from Mac OS X to Linux, would also be useful...see http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_hfsplus#Compiling_Apple.27s_Filesystem_Tools for more information.)
Using HFS, you can use either a disk partition or a disk file if your utilities support that. I had supplied Kent with the info for how to setup HFS partitions in Linux. Although the file is rather old, 2000 I think, it should still be mostly relevant. I haven't tried an HFS+ disk image. If it's different from HFS in any way, it may not function properly in KEGS / GSOS. I am curious to know if this works. I might give it a go later.
