The best chess GUI (which able to do computer tournaments ) in Linux is windows Arena GUI run through wine, it forces people to compile windows versions of engines. All other chess GUI for linux are laughably pathetic, buggy and unusable.
I've spent the entire day to muck with Scid vs PC, Xboard, "Arena for Linux" and few other guis: they either don't work or crash.
Scid vs PC crashes on tournaments with large amount of engines and generally a resource hod, because its built on tcl/tk.
Arena for Linux has numerous bugs which prevent it from running tournaments longer than 100 games.
Xboard besides being a pain in the ass to install, isn't usable for tournaments at all(it can't handle UCI engines well and config files on Ubuntu)
