Maya and Linux

[Mazer]

Linux handles everithing faster;) or you can say windows handles everithing slower.....

Seriously, Linux seems to have speed and stablility advantages if you have the time/wil to mess with recompling the kernel, install new drivers etc...

Not sure about Maya, I use the windows flavour until my next upgrade, but for everithing else linux is just more stable and using the latest nvidia drivers apps like Blender or games Like Quake 2 running in openGl are running at least as fast if not faster (this is my impression not a benchmark), so maya should do fine, I've read a review somewere about Maya 3.0 having some problems in interface speed back then but Maya Linux and Linux itself evolved alot since then.
The main reason I'm willing to take the time to configure Linux on my pc is its reliability, not having to wory about defrags and having to do fresh install every too months because windows is so F**** up that my Athlon becomes as fast as an apple IIc:D
Once its configured, Linux is rock solid, so if you compare perfomances after say 6 months of intensive work, with all thos tga sequences on you drives, I think you know witch one is faster...
