“Image is everything. Or is it? If you’re like me, you probably
don’t buy into that notion. Image is important, yes, but it’s not
everything. In any case, I’m a content kind of guy. Given the fact
that I’m not only color blind, but I often have trouble
distinguishing the forest from the trees, that’s a good thing.”

“But as far as this article is concerned, that old saw is true:
it’s all about image. We’ll take a quick look at two products
nearing completion and a longer look at a popular, mature 3D
modeling and animation application. All of which are available
today, free, for Linux.”

“Graphics applications are as natural to Linux as is water to a
duck. With its raw power, Linux is able to wring the most from
whatever hardware you have, which means Linux just makes good sense
as a graphics platform.”
