Not even a single request so far.  Perhaps not very surprising;
Chess960 is not a popular game, Linux is not the most popular
OS, and most Linux users probably have enough technical skills
to set up and configure XBoard-960, PolyGlot and their favorite
chess engines without needing a pre-configured bundle.

A Linux version of Homer Mainz would still be most welcome,
of course!  :-)
