Subject: Chess, Linux and screenshots

Hi!

I have taken 2 screenshots of native Linux chess programs,
Jin and jose, take a look here: www.al-data.dk/chess

Jin is a chess client which you connect to ICC or FICS.
It's very stable and feature-rich.

jose is a graphical chess tool you can use as a database,
to analyse a game or play against a chess engine.

Now, since there seems to be a growing interest in porting chess
engines to Linux, it could be nice if the companies bundled jose
and the their engine on the CD-rom, instead of just selling the
Windows version with bells and whisles and adding a Linux engine as
"a bonus". It wouldn't take much time and resources since jose
is licensed under the GPL. It's only required that they know java and
that they put the source-code of any changes made
to jose on the CD-rom or a web page.

Martin.
