Hi,

The TAG and The POV-Team are trying to get a better picture of how many
people here use POV-Ray on a Linux/Unix based machine. If you do have it
installed please respond to this message telling us on what version of
Linux/Unix, how long you have been using it and what version of POV-Ray
you are currently running. This information will be used to help better
support this platform.



Thanks for your help,

Nice idea! I'm using SuSE Linux 8.1; POV-Ray 3.5 and MegaPOV 1.0.
And well, I'm using Linux for about 5 years now.

Regards,
Andreas

I'm using POV-Ray on Linux for, well, must be more than 5 years now. 
Recently I switched to the Gentoo Linux distribution. I've already used it 
on Sun Solaris as well.

Gentoo Linux (which sort of defies a general version number), gcc-3.2.2,
kernel 2.4.20

POV-Ray 3.50c (compiled from sources).

I'm not sure if you're asking how long I've been using Linux or POV-Ray
so I'll answer both: Linux for about 2 years, POV off and on for about
3 years.

Btw, I'm not sure how clear a picture you'll get of the Linux user
base from within this newsgroup. Mostly you'll get a picture of the
Linux user base that are currently reading these newsgroups ;)

Debian GNU/Linux unstable, kernel is v. 2.4.20. Have been using it for
about 2 years now, I think (before that Red Hat). POV-Ray version is
3.50c, compiled and packaged by Debian.

I'm using POV-Ray 3.5 on RedHat 7.3. I first installed linux last summer and 
have been using it since then. My first POV was 1.0, I think, I got it with 
a magazine and immediately fell in love with it ;)

I'm using Linux (SuSE 7.1) on own computers since 2001 and using POV on it
since the beginning.  Using POV in general since version 2.2.

A lot of different versions of POV-Ray currently in use, even when using
the plain official POV i tend to do my own build rather than the official
binary.

Also occasionally running POV on other Unix machines.

Great.  An official RPM would probably be a good idea although a lot of
Linux distributions already include a version (SuSE seems to ship 3.5
since version 8.1).
