Why don't you use Vista?
I got Fritz 8 to work (with the use of Wine and a copy of a Windows
installation of Fritz 8) in Ubuntu, But only in a frame and it did not look
as good as in Windows. And you can use José as a database program for Linux.
But your other chessbase products won't work.
I used Ubuntu and SuSe for a while but got a lot of problems with my Nvidia
video card.
Now I use Vista and XP as a dual boot, so I can use my beloved chess
software.
Perhaps a dual boot of Windows and Linux is a good idea!

After giving Windows Vista a try I am thinking of migrating my work
computer
to Linux. I also have quite a large investment in ChessBase products. Does
anyone have any experience with Chessbase products running under a windows
emulator on Linux?
How about open source databases like SCID? If I decide to get rid of CB,
can
I use my Rybka engine with SCID? Anyone have experience w/ open-source
databases and engines under Linux?
Thanks!
