I am not aware of any Unix that runs under XP. There are some around that can reside in a FAT of NTFS filesystem, but most have to boot (not run as a "sub-process").

My recomendation would be to grab a second box, a Pentium-class with 32-64 meg of RAM. I have a box at home that runs fairly well - it's a P133 w/ 32 mb Ram... X-Windows will be pretty slow on that box, but it'll get the job done.

I personally wouldn't add a hard drive to an XP box... I don't know how XP handles dual-booting / addition of hardware.

Anyone have any experience with this?

NAME
genrbox - generate a RADIANCE description of a box SYNOPSIS
genrbox mat name xsiz ysiz zsiz [ -i ][ -r rad | -b bev ] DESCRIPTION
Genbox produces a RADIANCE scene description of a parallelepiped with one corner at the origin and the opposite corner at (xsiz, ysiz, zsiz). The sides of the box will be parallel to the three coordinate planes. The surfaces that make up the box will be modified by mat and their identifiers will begin with name. The -i option can be used to produce a box with inward directed surface normals. The -r option can be used to specify the radius for rounded edges. The -b option can be used to specify the indentation for beveled edges. EXAMPLE
To produce a rectangular box made of wood with beveled edges: genrbox wood box1 5 8 3 -b .5 > box1 AUTHOR
Greg Ward BUGS
Because spheres and cylinders are used to construct boxes with rounded edges, a transparent box of this type appears quite messy. SEE ALSO
