Quote - P7 works with minor quirks in Ubuntu.... In fact I'm rendering a scene RIGHT NOW in another virtual desktop

I'd be very interested in knowing the extent of the 'quirks'.  I've been hoping for Poser to run in Ubuntu (or any other Linux) for years now.  I kept hearing that someone here or there had succeeded, but always found that it was the same as Samuel Johnston said about the dog that could walk on its hind legs - that everybody got excited, not because it did it well, but because it could do it at all.

In other words, it was a 'technical' exercise, and never produced any setup that could seriously be used for actual production.

If you've got it working well, you could do a massive MASSIVE service for all us other Linux guys if you could post a tutorial somewhere.

Poser is now the only piece of software that makes me keep Windows on one of my computers.  If there was a way to cut that link entirely, I'd be VERY happy!
