"No. There is no Linux-native version, and it does not function under Wine." Tally 7.2 does have a Linux version with its CD. The installer and other docs are placed under a folder named Linux. I have installed it under CentOS and is working just fine.
Linux was named by Ari Lemmke, who ran the FTP server where Linux was originally published. Linus Torvalds originally wanted to call the project "Freax", a combination of "free", "freak", and "Unix", but Lemmke's name stuck.

Download the ISO images from Linux Mint's website, and burn it to a DVD or a flash drive and boot from it. Once it boots in a live session, on the desktop there is a icon named "Install Linux Mint" and click on it. Then follow the instructions and you'll be on your way to install Linux Mint.
