Gentlemen-
It makes no difference to me whether or not there is a Linux version
of trueSpace. I am trying to find someone who will teach me how to use
it, someone I can pay off in value meals. Thanks / Joel Mayer

"Truespace is the product of Caligari, a company acquired by Microsoft
recently. TrueSpace is a paid product before, but now they have released
it as a freeware for windows. The new version of truespace allows people
to export 3D content to virtaul earth. It also allows to export as X
Format for game engines like XBOX 360. It serves as an alternative to 3ds
Max and Google Sketchup. There is an open source project called Blender
for 3D modeling which supports wide number of platforms including windows,
mac, linux, BSD, solaris."
Given the wording of the article, maybe he is referring to Blender.
Blender comes with at least Fedora (I assume other distros as well.) I
couldn't find any reference to Truespace being able to run on Linux,
however, I did find a reference to some compatibility between the two
applications which could cause some confusion. ??

I have a couple of computers at home(doh). My little cousins like to play
on them on occasion. However, some of the programs they like to use are
windows based,and some of them are linux based. I like to use the
computers for linux based things and they are running a distributed
client when not in use.
What I -want- is a system that lets me netboot the machines, copy vm image
files to the netbooted system's harddrive. Allow me to launch the VM in a
fullscreen kiosk mode. (copy a new image file in the background while they
are using the vm that is in use.) Let them log in as admin let them
completely screw up the system. When they logout or restart, they get a
nice fresh image to work with. (They have shared filespace on my server
because i do end up wiping out the machines often as I retool for
different projects.)
I would like this to work with both linux and windows so you can pick n
choose which OS you want to run/destroy.
I was going to use the linux k12 or cobbler for the netboot system.
Then I was going run qemu on top of it for my choice of VM's to use and
just adjust qemu to run fullscreen in more of a kiosk mode after selection
of the vm to actually use.
I was going to manage/reload the vm images using the unused bandwidth in
the background with a shell script, and do checksums on the images to
verify the copy completed, etc.
I found the paravirtualization drivers for kvm for Windows and I use those
on my laptop and it seems to work okay for my use.
I can handle it if say cobbler can drop the customized image onto the
disk, wiping the drive isn't that bad, but I do have different sized
drives on the system.
I could just use a terminal server, but that doesnt really let me leverage
the horsepower of the client machines which means my -real- projects won't
have enough horsepower when they are screwing around.
Does anyone know of a project that lets me do this? Or know of a better
way to do this? comments/flames?
