hey miquel,
you are not alone. whenever people see me using softimage on my
fedora-booted macbook air 11" they go like: "wow, how is that even
possible?", followed by: "can i do that, too?" :)
imho it is just great to use softimage inside a modern desktop with
spaces and everything. i've got mudbox and even maya there along with
photoshop (the latter through wine) and they all perform quite well...
much better than i had initially expected.
maybe i should finally write a detailed install-how-to... i've been
planning this for a while, i just lack(/ed) the time...
but it would be for 2013 only as i haven't managed to install a working
version of 2014 on any distro yet - it doesn't seem to be registering
with the window manager at all and hence is pretty much unusable on any
multitasking desktop environment. *fingers crossed* that they do
something about it..
cheers!

Hello Chris,
I would like to add that I am windows user because is damn difficult to
install Softimage in linux. I would add a question in the survey "Are you
interested in move to Linux if we make the installer easy?" answer : "Hell
Yeah!"
Cheers,
Miquel

Thanks Andi for taking your time to complete the survey.
The survey is aimed to get some answers from our Linux users.
Nevertheless it's still good to know how many Windows users for Softimage.
Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris
Very happy to see this survey (completed)
The linux installer for Softimage needs a lot of polish. ;) When you guys
get to it would it be possible to allow an Ubuntu / Linux Mint version as
well. I know you cant specifically target all distributions, but at least
allowing an easy install via rpms or deb would be a big step forward. Also
if it could be robust enough that you don't need to spend days trying to
get your .so file and other celestial entities to align so that it will
actually work within a decent timeframe.
Kind regards
Angus

Subject: Softimage 2015 User Survey
Hi guys,
We need some inputs from everyone. Please fill up the survey below:
https://customer.voice.autodesk.com/se.ashx?s=077012DC304DCD63
The reason for this survey is to access the impact of dropping official
support for Fedora 14.
If we do drop support, we intend to continue running automated sanity
checks on Fedora 14 for a while longer.
The officially supported Linux distributions for 2015 is expected to be
RedHat/CentOS 6.2.
Please do so by the end of August. Thanks.
Regards,
The Softimage Team
