Darren,
If it doesn't work on Wine, you could always load a VM, like Sun's VirtualBox,
install a copy of Windows in that and play from there. VirtualBox has very good
performance metrics at above 95% of max (non VM) speed. And there's plenty of

Mark,
I would figure that given the popularity of both Eclipse and git, the problems
connecting the two easily, similar to the way Eclipse and Subversion connect,
will be solved sooner rather than later. And once they are, it won't be too
difficult to transition from whatever you choose to use
What were the software improvements? Were they related to the code distributing
the work, or to the actual game playing/move selection code?

Another option is to use a VM, MS's Virtual PC (free), VMWare's offering (free
for non-commercial use) or any of the flavors of the open source Xen.
Basically, you can set up an install of whatever target environment you use as
a client OS. And then install and configure all you need and w

Darren,
Thank you for posting the links. Very nice. It could be my lack of
understanding the intention of each of the tests, but it looks like most of
them are micro-benchmarks, meaning there is single or very few methods calls
and a very well defined micro-space. I can understand how doing so

walk experimentation and creativity such that an experimenter can know

I am a strong Java advocate, no doubt. However, Mono/C# have accomplished
quite a bit in the last 3 years. My own experience in that area tells me it is
much more mature than you have made it sound. To get pretty up-to-date
