Thanks Ben.
I’m writing this entry on a free low-fi computer running Dyne:bolic off of a CD in the back corner of my office. With a little help from the IT department, it’s (obviously) hooked up to the internet and doing stuff. It also lets my work computer get a little less CPU overload while it’s trying to render. Nice!
My next step is to get the thing running off the hard drive. But I don’t even SEE the hard drive from the file browser, so that’s tricky. I can’t store any settings, so I guess I just need to see how long I can keep it running.
No worries dude. Glad its slowly working out for you. All of http://www.presetcentral.com is running off of Linux as well. You’ve got to love it… one day you’ll be able to get Lightwave 3D running on Linux (and supported by NT!).
Another few to try for ease of use, but do not have a media/graphic slant, are Ubuntu, Fedora and Suse.
