Buried for linux.Can you sense it? Everybody is getting tired of the constant Linux spam. Buried for linux: make it your rallying cry.

if you want to support the Linux community, that's great, but you're not doing any good by preaching to the deaf, and it hurts your cause if you make empty promises or try to hype up your side as in this article. I really tried to like linux, i installed debian and ubuntu and tried them out for long enough to get a solid sense about them and how they're different than windows / mac. Linux is really just an incomplete OS, and that's its biggest strength. you can take a linux distro and customize and fit it in to your company's workflow in ways that are more efficient and cheaper than with win/mac. but don't preach at me and tell me linux deserves to be in my bedroom, because it doesn't. maybe you want it in yours, and that's fine. The people who want linux on their machines will find their way there. linux users are self professed computer nerds, the type of people who are well informed right? linux isn't going to lose out on many users just because they don't have a multi-million-dollar marketing departments, they don't need them.just be happy i use openoffice / 7zip / vlcplayer, and spread them out to my friends when they ask me what to use.

I thinks it's not just rendering that is done on Linux, I heard most of them are also doing some retouching in HDR using CinePaint and even Pixel <a class="user" href="http://www.kanzelsberger.com">http://www.kanzelsberger.com</a>

Mononuclear, what I mean to say is that GPUs are not needed for non-realtime (frame) renders; these are solely CPU dependent. Medical fields require GPUs for sophisticated realtime rendering only.

@Atomic1fireIn the most general sense, a forum is a place or a service where users may communicate with each other. Digg is certainly a forum.The last point was especially silly. So if you write your own code instead of using an existing forum application, your site cannot be a forum? That's just insanely stupid.
