Hi everyone :

Well just a while i was reading in the forum that Linux is best for rendering than windows since he uses 1/4 amount of the ram thats windows use with maya. But the question is I already have a maya copy and i installed it for windows XP but can i use it for Linux i have installed RedHat Linux 7.1 and If not where can I download Maya Linux Version I know maya isn’t for free but i am a home user ( Don’t tell me to go and buy a copy because maya isn’t cheap for me even after price slash by AW company ) ![](http://64.32.63.100/forums/icons/smile.gif) thanx
