Richard,

Probably a good starting page to look around: http://www.cent.co.yu/chess/
has links to a linux page. I think that all 3 of the programs there use the xboard interface for
graphics. I've used Fotress and Gromit's win32 versions and they're both good. And of course if you
get xboard (see Tim Mann's page) then you might as well get Crafty, the monster of the freeware
Chess world, it's more agressive than ever, and since you have Linux I see no reason why you
couldn't handle the (not user friendly) set-up of Crafty.
Lot's of good stuff for Linux, more all the time.

Pete
