  Yes, because you can set more protection in Linux.
  However, you have to do some work for this. You have to create a separate
account for running povray and set the home directory of this account to
an empty directory. If Linux generates automatically .login files etc to
the home directory of the account, write-protect them (chmod a-w files).
Don't just delete them (because the script could create them again) but
just write-protect them. Never log in as the POV-Ray user, but edit the
contents of the POV-Ray home directory as someone else (you can set
write permission to the directories to a group where you are).
  Don't give the account permission to write anywhere else but its own
directory. Make POV-Ray and all its ini files with another account and
read-only. Set the ini files so that POV-Ray always writes the images
to a certain images directory.

  This to make sure.
