I do most of my file generation in the Windows environment.

I use linux for the actual rendering of my scene.  I have compiled Povray
3.5 on Mandrake 9.1.  Except for a couple of sputters that were not Pov's
fault it compiled flawlessly.

I render under linux as the compiled from source linux version is much
faster than the Windows version (at least on my system).  I create on
Windows because I like the built-in editor.  The speed issue in linux's
favor has been present through the development and release of Pov 3.5.  Pov
3.1 was always faster on Windows (for me).

I have used Pov under Mandrake 8.1, 9.0, and 9.1.  Also under Redhat 6.1,
6.2, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0.
