Blue Box:
Mac OS X 10.2.5
350MHz PowerPC G3
384MB RAM
gcc (GCC) 3.1 20020420 (prerelease)

I've been using Mac OS X since the Public Beta.


Black Box:
Mandrake Linux 9.0
AthlonXP 2400+
512MB RAM
gcc (GCC) 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk)

And I've been using this since about last Christmas, when I got the 
machine.

On both machines, I generally use jEdit to edit the scene files, and run 
POV (compiled from source) from the command line. Recently I've 
installed MegaPOV 1.0 on the Mac, and will probably be using that when I 
need to do something locally on that machine.

I've been using POV-Ray 3.5 on Redhat 8.0 for about a month.

Red Hat linux 8.0 (kernel 2.4.18-27) and POV-Ray 3.50c.

  I'm using GNU/Linux at home since 1999 (more than 4 years now),
although I used it before at work during two more years. IIRC, my first
distro was from Caldera, later tried Red Hat 6.2, and I've been
upgrading this until today. 

  For POV-Ray, I usually stick to official versions compiled for my own
system, but I've also used Megapov pre-1.0 in the past, while waiting
for the official 3.5.

I have been using POV-Ray in Solaris for something like 5 years
(longer than I have been in this news server).
  Versions of Solaris have changed from (IIRC) 6 to 8 (the one currently
installed in my work computer).
  The computers have been SparcStation 5, Sun Ultra 5, Sun Blade 100 and
Sun Blade 150.

  The POV-Ray versions I have used include at least the official 3.1 and 3.5,
as well as several unofficial versions (such as lots of MegaPov versions and
pvmpov).

Mandrake 9.1, POVRay 3.5 + 3.1g with KPovModeler 1.0

I also have a habit of installing it on every system that I get access to in
the hope that it will be discovered by others and that they will be
inspired to learn how to use it. 

The Johny Appleseed approach to advocacy I guess.
