If you want to play chess with your computer, keep Windows. If you're interested
in Linux, get a real distribution. (like RedHat, Mandrake or SuSE as a start)
and install it on another partition - or if you happen to have a spare machine
on a separate machine. Lindows is like politicians - they promise the world but
at the end of the day you end up having nothing.

IMHO, YMMV
