AOL hasn't yet released a Linux client, but it's in their future.  There was
just a story on Slashdot about AOL's "secret linux project"
(http://slashdot.org/articles/00/08/13/137233.shtml) but it wasn't much of a
secret.  AOL has been pretty open about wanting to support more OS's.  But
will it be open source?  Doubtful ...

In the meanwhile, maybe you could pull it off with VMWare or Wine, like Kath
said.
