1) We are not ChessBase. ChessBase doesn't offer a Linux version of *anything*.

2) The engine supports the standard XBoard and UCI protocols, and can be used
under (almost) any interface. This means that it not only works under xboard,
but also under SCID, Knights, and whatever other interfaces are available or
Linux. We do not 'lock' you in a single interface.
