I inherited a netbook with Windows 7 installed. The previous owner didn't know much about pcs and the operating system is all screwed up. Since there is no restore disk, I'm thinking about installing ubuntu linux. I have seen alot of linux chess engines, but I'm kinda worried about gui's? I've heard that fritz doesn't work very well under linux? but arena runs ok under wine. Is there any guis specifically written for linux? What do you linux users do for guis and engines? Any advice and tips would be great. Thanks.

SCID Linux is a very fine chess GUI you can use as a database (like ChessBase) but
also for analysing games with Linux-UCI-engines and with all other UCI-engines
provided you have installed Wine.
