You need to get the Linux version in order to run LV on Linux. You can open and run the VIs you save in Windows in the Linux version and vice-versa, but some things are Windows-specific and will not work (for instance ActiveX, .net, toolkits which are only supported on Windows, etc.). Also, when you open your VI in Linux, LV will tell you it was changed, because the compiled code is saved as part of the VI. The compiled code for Windows and Linux is different, so when you open a Windows VI in Linux, it is recompiled.
You might wish to do a search for "Linux" to see more specific details.
