Go up one level in this thread


I think eboard support UCI as well as winboard so if you need UCI it might be
the route to go.

There are also a couple Java based GUI's however I've not tried them out.

If you want to try linux, you can use Knoppix and test it all from a bootable
CD. OR even dualboot if you want to have both. This is normal for people new to
Linux. If  you want to be able to mount your Windows partition, I recommend
using FAT32 instead of NTFS, since NTFS support is still limited.
