iWork for Linux required

Software & Version: iWork, 2009
Homepage Link: http://www.apple.com/iwork/
Description: I am very much excited about the fascinating Keynote in iWork '09. Not that other applications in it are boring but that's what got my attention in the first place. Well, I tried to install it in Windows 7 (and had asked for help in various forums) but was unable to do so. So, I thought if it was possible to install that in Ubuntu (mine is 10.10) as both Mac OS X and Linux are designed under the UNIX base. I may be wrong but that's why I need help. Here are my computer details:
Model: Toshiba L510 satellite
Processors: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz
RAM: 2 GB
Intel Graphics
OS: Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7

Any help is appreciated!!!

hello dude......
Thanks for the info about installing Wine but I don't think you are getting the point......the reason i wanted to try iWork '09 in ubuntu is because that Mac-based software is not supposed to :nono: work in Windows PCs and it did not, in fact, in my Windows 7 laptop......so i was thinking if someone had some hack or something to get that software installed in Ubuntu, at least.........
