I use linux. I used many flavours of it, currently I use Debian distribution (for about 2 years). I switched to linux from dos in 1995 because it was OS used in labs in my University. And, since it does all things I need, I never looked at alternatives. >Which OS do you use for computer chess related stuff? Why? For chess related stuff I use xboard to connect to chess servers and gcc to develop my suicide chess program (suicide chess is chess variant on FICS - I believe it is wild 26 on ICC). On linux, of course. >Do you make use of more than one OS? If so, which OS's and for what purposes? I have windows 95 installed on one partition (I got it preinstalled with my computer). I log in into it occasionaly to check how web pages I develop look in internet explorer. Andrzej >I'll start off by answering these questions for myself.
