Anyone with experience of Shredder Linux?

[Kurt Utzinger]

Anyone with experience and comments about running Deep Shredder 11 Linux, or Shredder 11 Linux, or Shredder Classic 3 Linux?

Is it easy to install, and so on?

I have tried the demo of Shredder 3 Classic Linux under Ubuntu and it run without problems. Nevertheless I abstained from buying it because the Deep Shredder 11 UCI (for Windows) is running fine at me with Linux (Ubuntu) under wine.

There is no need to bash Linux about "catering poorly for chess". I mean, it is obviously your fault.

I realise that I am only a guest in the house of Linux, so I ought to stop moaning and sit quickly; just don't be surprised if I suddenly depart through one of the windows.

Linux by itself can provide really simple installers (e.g. a point and click deb package under Ubuntu or by using one of several open source packaging frameworks) . If Stefan released a Ubuntu deb package for instance, it really will be just a point and click install. However, due to the large numbers of linux distributions, the old approach of uncompressing a file, executing the installer, and then running the program is used. As a result, customers have to do more fiddling with the installation.

Using/Installing the sun jdk and doing the extract and execute should probably work on ubuntu, if it does not, it might be a minor issue.

Yes.

I admit it may be complicated for some people to put on their trousers on their own.
