Subject: Unix-based chess programs and other questions.

I am considering installing a Unix variant on one of my PC's and had a few
questions for all.

1.)  What Unix system would you recommend for an x86 machine?  Linux, Unixware,
SunOS, GNU, FreeBSD, etc.?  Keep in mind cost and ease of use considerations.

2.)  What chess applications exist for the above mentioned systems and what ones
would you recommend?  Are there strong Unix-based chess programs available?
What is this "Dark Thought" system I hear about?

3.)  Multi-processor systems!  What can you tell me about this incredible
concept?  How does it work?  How might I take advantage of it?  What OS's
support it?  In this realm I am quite the beginner, so anything information
would be most gratefully accepted.

Thank you!
