Default Does heimdall work for i9100G?

I looked around on heimdall site, github page as well as searched this forum but didn't manage to get any information on whether it works for i9100G or not. I got a i9100G recently and am looking to root it now. I only have Linux on my machine so I cannot use odin.
I have been used to heimdall on SGS and I believe it is used by i9100 users too.
If heimdall doesn't work then what other alternatives do we have that can be used from Linux?

Are there any ways to root without requiring to connect to PC? All the methods I saw require Windows.

Oh well! Will have to head somewhere to find a Windows machine which is safe enough. Hope heimdall will be able to support this device.
