As = of now it is no longer working properly I cannot finnish installing all o= f the cd's I purchasd. The cd-rom is 40x Delta "I think" model #OPC-K105/= 5 ST1. I am an art studdent with very littl knowledeg of computers but am= pursuing a degree in architecture and would really like to get the most = out of learning this OS as I am sure that any knowledge of the subject wi= ll aid me in the futer. I am looking into using AutoCad, MAYA, Photoshop.= I would really like to know how to go about setting up a unix inviornm= ent that supports those programs, if possible, and has rendering capabil= ities for the MAYA inviornment posibly linking multiple computers togethe= r in a renderfarm. I am looking into the G5 but apple doesnt support Auto= cad as of yet and to my knowledge OSx is a unix os. Thank you for your ti= me. Joel Putnam
