Nope, VB applications are developed to run in .Net framework and there is no compatibility version for Linux from what I know.
May be you can use Mono with C# to get that compatibility. But for VB, no.
But why vb if you target linux platform? The language selection depends also on the target platform, so if your target is linux, I suggest you take Java or C/C++ for better compatibility.

I was only targeting Microsoft windows initially,but due to the growing user base for the software i created, i am compelled to make the software cross compatible,mainly on linux because i received many complains about not having a version compatible on linux os's.... Isn't there ANY WAY that i can perhaps convert the original .exe into a linux compatible file? aren't there any converters of the sort? any possible way? I AM DESPERATE!!!
