Actually, I have, numerous times. BTW, "Maya" isn't exactly small potatoes, and don't tell Pixar or ILM that their Linux renderfarms aren't useful either ;) But, forget Linux for a moment, Ron. Notice IRIX that runs on SGI workstations. Notice OSX that runs on Macs... they're all *nix. ...and, none of this negates the failures and problems inherent in Windows, does it? Didn't think so. :) /P
