If I buy a new powerful PC for 3D rendering, would I get a faster
rendering performance using POV-Ray under Win98 or with a dual boot for
Linux? I've seen the POV benchmark web page; can someone tell me the
answer more easily?

In my experience, linux can render much faster (sometimes almost 2x faster)
This could be a result of an odd hardware combination or something, so you
should check the benchmark page to see if you *really* want to go through
the trouble of linux just for PoV's sake.

I run linux and Win95 as a dual boot on my Pentium 90 and I run linux
and Win3.1 on my 386 before that. In my experience the linux executables
are faster (not only Povray but also LaTeX, compilers, etc).
I use WIN95 only for sPatch and all those programs that do not support
linux.
BTW linux is a nice and stable OS and comes with a whole bunch of fine
and *free* software. I would give it a try.
Greetings
Marc

Question:
I have an extraordinarily easy time producing AVIs and playing them back
using Win98
tools. (pjbmp95 / ActiveMovie). Are there similar tools for compiling and
playing movies under
Linux? I don't care if it's a GUI or CLI, but I'm hoping for something that
can do 24bit color
at arbitrary resolutions...and hopefully can use MMX and video acceleration.
Thanks,
Aaron
