I use a O2 at work which is well equipped with memory. I do my test on
my machine at home and then I transfer the .pov file to this machine
(via ftp) then start a telnet session to start the job (using nohup
x-povray ... &) and when I arrive in the morning it's most of the time
finished. I guess that's what you wnat to do too, right?
