Lindows is Linux. HIARCS certainly won't work natively, although there are
windows emulators around - you could ask at:

    http://www.winehq.org/ or
    http://www.codeweavers.com/

to see if anyone has tried it. However, if your main purpose is to run chess
programs, I would recommend  paying for a box with Windows.
