...not natively - yet (hint, hint, hint...) OTOH, it works perfectly in Crossover Office. The screenie shows a complete D|S render in SuSE 9.1 w/ Crossover Office 3.0. Render times were just as fast (only 2 min. 27 sec. w/ the one pictured), and aside from a small font issue (I forgot to install the Microsoft TrueType Core fonts, so I wound up with some goofy faux-chinese font instead, but otherwise it reads perfectly), and a couple of missing scrollbars (easily remedied), everything runs just fine with the same lag that one would get when using D|S natively in Mac. System specs are as follows (heh - get a load of how low they are...): * P4 2.4GHz on an Intel D845EBG2 mobo * 256MB RAM * Rage Pro 128 video card * Linux SuSE 9.1 Professional * Crossover Office 3.0 (it's my work box - I was demonstrating CX Office during lecture.) I'll stuff more RAM into the box (and put in the MS TrueType fonts) and see if things improve. If they do, I think I've found a replacement for Poser on my PC at home (via Win4Lin) once and for muthafriggin' all.
