My point was that Realsoft was alone in the Linux market as a serious 3D solution. And since the Amiga Workbench, there have been no evolution in operating system (only improvements). Linux is not an easy solution, the main problem is there is no standard on Linux : there is 75 different

My point was that Realsoft was alone in the Linux market as a serious 3D solution. That's not entirely true... but it is the only one that's affordable at the moment, at least while Blender 2.5 is still in development. Most of the high-end film shops use Linux as their primary platform because it
