In all honesty, no. It's a question of user-base size to justify the effort to
make a Linux version. You may argue that Linux is growing, etc, and that there
are a lot of Linux users, but Chess Assistant isn't a corporate piece of
software, and is for home end-users, which do not make up the larger part of the
Linux community.
