[Radiance-general] Thanks

[Rob Guglielmetti]

Thanks to all who replied to my numerous questions, both 
on- and off-list.  I appreciate it.  I'd like to follow up with 
some of you separately, time permitting.  

Replmarks look interesting, I will look at the manpage in 
more detail.  I can see how that truly could be a disaster 
in terms of version tracking, etc, but it's worth a shot.  

I must be a glutton for punishment, because now I'm off 
on a new tangent -- thinking of installing Linux on the 
PowerBook. (!) I found out about a product called 
YellowDog Linux, which purports to be a no-brainer install 
(triple boot scheme with Mac OS9, OSX and Linux) on the 
PowerBooks.  My thought was that if I'm gonna have to 
ultimately learn to manage Radiance installations on Linux 
to have a render farm, why not start sooner than later?  
The down side is that YellowDog is based on... Red Hat.  
Now I know that some of the Radiance community is 
having success with Red Hat (Hi Jack!); could you explain 
what the caveats are regarding trying to compile 
Radiance on Red Hat?  It's just a thought right now, I'm 
not really excited about backing up my young system and 
repartitioning the whole deal, but supposedly this 
YellowDog Linux really flies, and then I could try out 
Peter's rshow, and...

Time to check on the status of my application for the 36 
hour day!
