From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Audacious is your friend. It accepts old Winamp skins!
I've been rocking the Windows XP skin on Linux Mint
It really whips the llama's ass!

AFAIK I am pretty sure Winamp works fine on Wine.
Yes, but there is a Winamp Wine based package somewhere iirc.
