YES. Limewire uses the GNUtella protocol which was made for the gnu project. Because linux is in reality GNU/Linux and therefore uses GNU tools. The real question is if gnutella will work on linux.

GNUTella and limewire are at their native home on linux.
Windows is a completely alien environment. The GNUTella protocol was not really meant for it although there are now ways to use it.
