Good point.

Curious, too. I went and glossed over the site out of interest, and I was only
given an option for Win2K Advanced Server or RedHat. For the purpose of Chess,
*nix could very well be better as Windows machines like to do a lot of things
behind your back (like updating themselves every other week because of some new
IIS attack). Not very cool when those extra cycles could be spent on real
computation.
