But i have both linux and windows and i have written a program that works in both environments. I see that both environments get better I also see that linux gets better faster than windows, but they NEED to do that as it's not very user friendly to say it very nice For example i'm writing this in linux: in Lynx. How well is my formatting? can you read this line for example? I'm seeing a stupid text console which does me remind of DOS. Linux = DOS + some extra Windows = Easy to use and all software works for it. For now the situation is easily to answer: linux is not interesting for chessgames except if you are parallel like me, offers like bob to run on his quad xeon (linux of course) are hard to get.
