I suspect it would be possible to include a Linux version (and who knows,
maybe even a MacOS X one if I can get it compiled there) on the CD when
Deep Sjeng gets released. But it would be totally unsupported and
without interface of course. And you'd end up paying for the Windows
version as well, even if you don't use it, and then there's additionally
no guarantee that the Linux version would work.

But it'd work under xboard and SCID, and might be usefull for people
like you.

I'll see what I can do, but no promises.
