I wonder if you could comment on the answer below from a softimage friend of mine.... --------------------------quote---------------------------------------- [....] IT's true that there is a lot of Linus use in the CG companies in Soho, but it's definately not all or even most. at best I would say it's 50/50 and a lot of those linux boxes are in render farm (the mill for instance has a very heavy linux pipeline, but most of the desktops stations are 2k I believe) to whoever said this... Whilst *many& of the magor CG apps run on Linux, *many* of them don't. *all* of them run on 2K. So whilst a lot of people would prefer to use it, that doesn't mean that they can. -----------------------endquote---------------------------------------- groetz -- Tim Orford
