I participated FOST cup with my program Baduki on Linux last year.
But I can't participate preliminary tournament this year
because they can't provide Linux OS.

Dear Mr. Lim Jaebum,
Thank you for your e-mail regarding FOST Cup Preliminary Tournament.
Sorry I could not respond to you earlier.

This is to answer your question.
I am sorry to inform you this but we do not support Linux O/S this time.
Since we do not have UNIX system at FOST, we could not read your Buduki
at
your home page.
Please apply to the Tournament with the program on Windows 95/98.
