However, Linux seems like it could take quite some time to get familiar with. Is Knoppix 64 bit? What is the best C++ compiler for it? And the key question: how much faster (if at all) should a 64-bit build be compared to using the Microsoft SDK 64-bit compiler, running on Athlon64? (My program is bitboard-based, including rotated bitboards.) Thanks, Vas > > >>Actually, I have yet to install Linux.
