Solaris 8 and 9 on UltraSparc and Intel Pentium.
PovRay 3.50c built at http://www.blastwave.org/
We expect to release an un-supported un-official Sun Solaris package later
tonight. Just getting the 64-bit binary a bit more tweaked. :-)

Red Hat 6.2 on a PII 266 since 1999 with memory upgraded to 320 Meg ram.
Persistence of Vision(tm) Ray Tracer Version 3.5 Unix (.Linux.gcc)
I use emacs in an xterm as my editor these days along with PovMenu for
running POV.
I've been using POV since 1998.

I currently use POV-Ray on Linux Mandrake 9.0, RedHat 8, and previously
on various distributions since RedHat 5.2.
The version I currently use is Micha's custom P4 compile of POV-Ray 3.5

You can take a look at the benchmark site, which shows one:

Gentoo 1.4 with POV-Ray 3.5 (own compilation). I'm using Gentoo for 7
month now, switching from SuSE Linux (6.4 up to 7.3). Before that I used
POV-Ray on Sun Solaris.

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.

You might be interested in jEdit...it is a *much* better editor than the
one built into the Windows version, and comes with a POV-Ray edit mode.
It's also highly customizeable, you could probably set things up to run
POV from within jEdit, though I just keep a terminal window open for
that. (Actually, it's a bit more complex: I boot my PC in Linux, mount
its hard disk on my Mac with Samba, edit files on my Mac with jEdit, and
render on my PC through SSH. It works nicely, including the POV-Ray X11
preview.)

This jEdit sounds like something I'd like to have a go at. Thanks for the
heads up. I've heard something about the program but never knew it had a
Pov mode.
Should I google? Or is it on freshmeat? Or is there a link?
Thanks,
-->Jeff
