i know it works fine on many flavors...I used redhat without any problems at all. Check alias' site for the version of redhat maya 7 will work with...the latest redhat might not work...might need an earlier one.
I used redhat 7.3 with back with maya 5.0...but went back to windows mainly for photoshop and zbrush...but linux was awesome....Im thinking of goin back or just popping in an extra hard drive and partitioning it to use with Shake (not on windows...sigh, this never ends)
