Just a casual question but, who here uses Linux for their Maya works? I know I just got onto Linux and wondered what kind of differences might be expected for Maya, especially on interface.

    Nothing that could possibly slow you down, actually. With the exception of some very, very low-level nodes, everything is transparent. I work on a PC at home and can use those files at work. The version of maya at work is a "special" cut and tends to crash more than what I use at home but I don't know if that's a typical for the Linux version.

    the only thing I've run into is you have to make sure you have the Nvidia glx for your correct kernel installed and you have to make some chages to you .cshrc or .bashrc to get your mouse to behave as your used to.

    We use Maya on Linux (ver 7.01) here at Tippett. And we use it on Windows and Macs. If only it'd run on Amigas... sob...

      Sheeeet. I've still got video toaster (includes lightwave) on my amiga. And, all those wipes with Kiki, plus the titler/keyer makes this totally blow doors on any... other... amiga-based... uh, thingie. I just might boot it up for a little reminisce
