ggrace, thanks for letting us know about this.  I'm not a fan of Windows at all, and do really love Linux (we use Ubuntu on some of our machines at home).  I'll have to check this out; I need to be able to use Carrara, but more importantly for me are Photoshop, Premiere, AfterEffects, and Encore from Adobe.  If I could get them running under Linux without any hit on performance, I'd be a very happy man!

As we make progress in this arena, I'll let folks know.
