You can also make non RPG Games On RPGMaker but you have to change the script(basic) alot!Also you'd need to bring in a whole new list of imports!

Are any of these programs capable of being successfully run under wine (I have linux)?

Game Maker doesn't go for Linux because it says this on it's official site: Game Maker runs under Windows 98 SE, 2000, ME, or XP. and RPG Maker XP hmmm...
And the site on RPG MAKER XP has this:
Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows 98 / 98SE / ME / 2000 / XP Japanese Version*
CPU: Intel PentiumIII 800MHz or better
RAM: 128MB or more
Video: 1024x768 High Color
Sound: DirectSound Compatible card
Hard Drive Space: 100MB or more

*Ignore this.
