Mhm, a linux version would make me throw Windows completly from my HDD.

Using Indigo is the only reason at the moment to keep Vista installed.

I am starting my teaching Job here at Kendall College this fall.

I am going to buy myself another mac mini to run as a render engine.
It will be connected to the internet and thus if you want I can give
U access to it over the net.

I very much would love to see Indigo also for OS X because I work a lot in Blender and Rhino4. Well Using Parallels is fine for modeling, but I doubt rendering because of memory performance.

I am also the new person here at the College to investigate their software
selection. I am actively trying to increase open source more and more because the students here only know 3DMax (urgh ...).

BTW why cannot i change my password in the forum? I always tells me the old password in the database does not match the (i forgot my password button) password i got via the email.

Ok, thanks.
Not sure how useful a remote connection would be tho.

Dunno about the forum thing

Ono, if you want to experiment with OS X, it's quite easy to install into a VM, or a separate partition on your box. I can direct you if you need more instructions.

I won't address the legal issues with that, because Apple won't just sell OSX standalone.

lol

i never did get osx working on a windows machine, any chance you could show me too, zsouthboy..?

This thread reminds me. Has anybody seen the poll on the main page?

Kind of... interesting.

Very interesting indeed. 50/50 share on windows and linux users here.

nearly, but if you want "windows" and "linux", you need "Windows 32 + Windows 64" an "Linux"

it is not 50x50, it is what image says, do not forget on OSX users, also other OSes

He meant "about the same amount of Linuxers and Windowsers"

well, i think that it would be win32/64 and linux32/64 too, but lets take it one step at at time...

(just a fun jab, no harm intended)

we should raise a donation link to buy ono a copy of linux >.>

sorry couldent resist. but seriously, from a $ stand point for those who want render farms and are not entirely adapt at using wine, headles linux servers are a lot cheaper then M$ licenses.

that is SO true, 'specially now that MS is selling vista for around 250 bucks for the best version.
I feel that vista should be max 20 bucks, and office around 9-12 dollars.

Why not a linux/MacOS version?
