I've heard Simba doesn't run so well natively on Linux. So if you were to use it on a VPS, your best bet would be to get one running Windows.

As far as setting it up, you'd do it the same way you would on your computer. Install Java, download Simba, and there you are :).

Apparently it runs perfectly fine in wine. As linux boxes are usually cheaper then windows(in my experience), you could just install wine.

They are due to the cost of licensing. Yeah you could get a Linux box and install wine as he said. Just make sure you install the Windows java through wine as well as Simba.

Yes, you could probably fine wine there :p. Anyways, WINE is basically a program that can run a lot of Windows programs on Linux. It is a compatibility layer and not an emulator as the name states. What distro will you be using?

I'd recommend a KimSufi server if you can fork out the cash :P.
