Just maybe not with the polish, total feature set and user-friendliness you'd expect from a comercially developed product. The only exception perhaps would be the games. For example, you can compare Blender (GPL) to Maya. Is the comparsion good? Most likely not. But if all you want to create is one-minute CGI video animation, you can get away with blender. (At least that's the impression I get from the Blender site's gallery.) Do you want desktop publishing on *n*x, you can use Scribus. Is it better than Quark. Most likely not. But if you want to layout your small office's newsletter it would do the job just fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
