Yeah. I do have a Linux system - but just as a secondary system to run POV on.
That, and nothing else. Didn't want to throw money at MS for another Windows
license, nor did I want to set up a few "render all this stuff, and I'll see
you later" scripts with Windows stuff. Let alone coming home after work and
finding that the machine has crashed on my 48-hour-render...

So for this purpose, it has proven the right decision. For anything other than
that, I wouldn't want it.

As you say: Time is precious, and I have enough other things to toy around with.
