l'article est succulent, mais je rajouterai quand même deux bémols:
1- "High-performance graphics-card drivers available for Windows were missing in Linux. The task fell to multimedia lead Daryll Strauss working at Precision Insight, now a division of VA Linux. (Strauss was previously with Digital Domain implementing the Titanic renderfarm.) "In 18 months, we built 10 drivers: 3dfx Voodoo 3/4/5, ATI Rage 128/128 Pro/Radeon, Matrox G400, and Intel i810/i815," says Strauss. "Creating a common code base for multiple drivers really saves time.""
2-"GIMP, an image editor with features similar to Photoshop, provides 16-bit per channel support (64-bit RGBA)"
En fait, Gimp ne travaille qu'en 32 bits. le 64 bits, c'est pour l'avenir (gimp 2.0), ou pour des versions bien spécifiques patchées "in house" http://film.gimp.org(...)
