It might be possible to run Supermemo on Linux under some of the Windows emulators. Search the user group http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/supermemo/ for user reports.

VMWare and Crossover

Other known emulators of Windows under Linux include VMWare and Crossover.

VirtualBox

If you want to use SuperMemo on Linux you can use VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org). It lets you install Windows (any operating system, actually) inside a Virtual Machine. You can use nLite (http://www.nliteos.com) to create a lighter, stripped-down version of Windows XP for that purpose. I use a version of XP which occupies a mere 40 MB of ram! I think you might also use Wine, but the dependence of SuperMemo upon Internet Explorer would cause problems, I think. --ChateauDIf 12:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

List of Supermemo ports and clones and alternative software running on Linux

• SuperMemo 98 might be easier to run in Linux due to its independence of Internet Explorer

• FullRecall might be the alternative. It is very clean and simple (its simplicity is its power) application for both Linux and Windows, based on neural networks to optimize the scheduling of next repetitions. The FullRecall web site has a ruby script which converts a Supermemo database to FullRecall format, including as much as possible of the learning-state data.

• Kylix port of SuperMemo 2000 - four years "in development" and not a sign of progress
• Open source SuperMemo for Linux at sourceforge - the project is dead
• SuperMemo 2004 under Wine

• The Mnemosyne Project. Seemingly an excellent open-source alternative. It uses an algorithm similar to SM2 and allows for graphics in questions/answers. Future release will allow sound in questions/answers. Also takes data from users (anonymous, only spacing data) for research into long-term memory.

• Anki is a spaced repetition flashcard program. The software is similar to SuperMemo (yet less buggy), a commercial product for the same purpose, and Mnemosyne (yet with more functions), a minimalist free software alternative. Anki is open-source and runs on linux/BSD, Mac and Windows. While Anki can be used for studying anything, it also ships with special features designed to make studying languages easier: integrated dictionary lookups, missing pinyin/kanji reports, and more. Extra pre-made decks are also provided. Anki has evolved from a few interface additions to the original flashcard program, to a suite of tools including a desktop program, website and cell-phone access.
