see even useful information comes out from flamebait discussions. maybe if we just left out the language then we all could learn something from these exchanges. > > >available for Linux and Windows has widened.

RenderMan is also optimized for linux already since Hollywood mandated the use of linux. there is even news in tinseltown that there are even Linux-clusters-for-rendering-movies for rent.
