Well, Quark isn't available for linux and I've never got it running
under wine (with no windows) yet. 

I fear that at this stage, anything you get will be not so much "is
there a linux version" as "does it work under wine."

This frustrates me no end as I work at a newspaper. F**ING Quark isn't
even available for MacOS X yet :-(

The world of DP seems to be particularly focused on MacOS 7-9 & Windows,
even more than the rest of the industry. And even MacOS seems to be
fading into the background - but then, with MacOS 9 less reliable than
win9x (I kid you not), good riddance. If only the OSX support would come
out sooner.
