I don't think you can run 16 bit chess engines under Win 2000.

There are not many (if any) top commercial engines available for Linux.

I have windows 98, windows ME and Linux installed in seperate partitions.
I use Windows 98 most of time and Linux when I get bored out of my skull with
windows. I don't know why I have windows ME installed as I think it is a waste
of space. I don't get any problems with windows 98 and they say the SE edition
is even better.
