I'm in. and to port poser to linux, there are FREE utilities to recode the source to work on linux. mondoxjake, if you only know windows, then when installing linux set it to boot into a gui...easy and not real difference in use. it is only command line that is completely different...and that you don't have to defrag hard drive, linux scadisks continually so no need to worry about that either. it is almost impossible to crash linux ( I seriously had to work at it to get it to crash..and only then by runnig a hardware setup utility while it was already running.) aww you don't want people to go spend 50 to get the three cd's with a manual?...or 100 and get 7 cds of stuff. as opposed to what a grand for one cd for win?
