Pretty much summed up what I was going to say :) Though Ruffian is available for Linux and OS X. Crafty can compile on just about any POSIX compatible OS. And CM9000 was just released for OS X. One thing I like about open source engines though, is you can fine tune them to your system. For example, I'm curious to know how well Ruffian and TheKing work under non windows machine. For example are they multithreaded so it can utilize SMP systems etc. In my view porting doesnt mean that it was compiled to just run on the system. It should also be at least somewhat tuned for the architecture. Sincerely, Joshua Shriver
