IN the most unlikely event that poser or d/s be capable of running under Linux, I may put it in one of my more powerful machines, until then it stays in this "minimal" (micro$oft standards) celeron and slowly crunches my tiny (micro$oft standards) 30 gig hard drive as it swaps back and forth, trying to do something useful. I don't render with poser, just export an obj and convert that to POV, then put it in the Linux box where I know it's not going to hang up halfway through. Fully half of the problems with poser aren't with poser, they're products of redmond washington, home of the worlds least capable operating system, windoze xp.
