Got a dual-boot and I'm wondering which to install it on.  And while
I'm at it, how does FreeBSD compare?

Thanks!

  I seem to remember that POV-Ray gets only about 80% of CPU time in win2k.
This is not a fault in POV-Ray, but some odd design in win2k.

At my w2k computer povray gets between 92% and 98% all the time. I guess if
you run POV-Ray in DOS it will get 99.99%.
