I'm glad someone at least _offers_ something for Linux. The only thing which
makes me sad is the fact that you need to install the thing under Windows before
you can get the Linux-executable. (if that's still the case) That is not very
good for people who only have a Linux-box.

Also, it might be a good opportunity to give people a chance to say whether
they're interested in the Linux-engine. This way Lokasoft might get some
feedback as to how many people would buy a Linux-only version in the future.

I wish there was a good interface for Linux. xboard, eboard and Knights all have
major issues IMHO. (I didn't look at Jose-Chess, but it seems like it's more
meant as an analysis-tool, for example it doesn't support ICC-play)
