In the field of animation and visual effects, most high end software, such as AutoDesk Maya, Softimage XSI and Apple Shake, is available for Linux. In the film industry, Linux has been the platform of choice for several years. The first major film produced on Linux servers was Titanic in 1997. Since then major studios like Dreamworks Animation, Pixar and Industrial Light & Magic have moved to Linux. 95% of the servers and desktops at large animation and visual effects companies use Linux.

Linux is Great I use Linux Mint Helena on my computers and I learned that I didn't have to be a master at Windows in order to understand Linux mint , Ubuntu gos , and Freespire.

@SuperKnowledgeSponge I am developing my own Java chat using Linux now.

[jsmith19810808081]

@SuperKnowledgeSponge It's a pleasure have you got it working though?

You may have to tweak things with Wine I believe WoW will work on Linux using Wine though.

@jsmith19810808081 Thanks for informing me! :)

@SuperKnowledgeSponge Have you heard of Wine? Wine allows you to run some games (not all) on Linux, that are meant to be on Windows.

I have left my server on for 365 days now and not one day when it's become slow, I would love to see any windows based platform be able to take that and one thing about it is CentOS is entirely free, all my software is 100% free for my server and never had any wishes to buy any software for Linux.

I even have Linux on a dual boot a workstation based LDAP login for Linux.

@InstinctualJealousy "...Against open source elitists...," eh?

You being ironic, right? OSS is for the common man. Nothing elitist about The Commons.

Few Nixers would, should or wish to hire propaganda [advertizing] so you will, of course, read, see and hear some Linux Bigotry, yep, but, who is paying for Linux, and FOSS, advertizing? NOBODY IS.

The effort that is put into selling something that, uh, really should be no-cost, astounds me. It is like being sold a bill.

Pay for apps, not an OS.

@mckt007 You should download some pre-made then, like Mint OS 10 which is pretty friendly and stable. I have made mine own also and they aren't very stable either. IBK most times. Good way of learning that it isn't easy to make all that complex machinery work [and why not] with no hitches... Linux is good for that, if you are like me, who like to learn by breaking things. [VritualBox etc are great for doing that sort of learnin']

Peace!
