Has anyone tried running Fuego on linux via VM on Windows? Is it faster than cygwin-Fuego on Windows? (I don't know how much VM performance varies but http://www.virtualbox.org/ is freely available for testing.) With a newer version of Windows and a multi-core machine it might not a bad option.

The Cygwin-version is significantly slower than the full-build I have on the same machine with Fedora. I provide the Cygwin for people who are not familiar enough with linux or are not able to build the engines themselves with Cygwin. --- With kind regards, Ben Lambrechts Windows builds for GNU Go and Fuego : http://gnugo.baduk.org/ Fuego opening books : http://gnugo.baduk.org/fuegoob.htm On Sat, Dec 5, 2009 at 5:54 AM, David Fotland <fotl...@smart-games.com> wrote: > >Many Faces is getting too strong for Gnugo.
