Then perhaps it WOULD be a good idea to post the summarization of these
responses on the http://www.povray.org page to prevent such wastes of
time (and newsgroup space) in the future?  Underneath the "Download a
public beta..." link there might be another link something like "POVray
3.5 for linux????"

 I think most nix povray users simply want to know why a port of our
favorite raytracer that does not require a working GUI has not become
available yet, even in a beta form.  Or more so, many (like myself) would
find even the information that a linux port IS being worked on quite
reassuring.

Thanks for your hard work on POV, your time and somewhat redundant
responses.

Waiting,

Jon Hoskins
