Hello Anthony,

As you see, you got more than four answers :)

Since you are a Linux nerd, you could release Zappa for Linux, and encourage
chess enthusiasts to use Linux more. I think there are many people (including
myself) who use Windows just because there is more and better chess software for
that platform.

Zappa would be one of the strongest engines available to Linux users.

Regards
Christos
