Though I didnt know it had a linux port. http://www.alias.com/eng/products-services/maya/index.shtml As far as installing it is concerned, if you are to have any luck you it you will need to install the linux compatability libraries and rpm of course. I suggest you google around to see if anyone has actually attempted this before. Hope this helps. Regards, Frank Laszlo
