Are there any computer-based encyclopedias that are know to work or not work on Linux?

A subscription to britannica.com probably would, although their
system requirements talk about Windows/Macintosh needs, and Istr
that they actually mean it (rather than just shipping, say, PDFs of
the paper book).

But I guess you're looking for not-necessarily-connected browsing?


Yeah, I'm looking for something to use "off-line" and give as a gift. I like to buy to own as opposed to paying for subscriptions.
