First, I want to say Elrepo is fantastic! Even after following <br>
carefully documented procedures on other Linux distros, getting
Nvidia <br>
drivers to load properly is a hit-or-miss proposition. Elrepo
never <br>
fails me.
<br>
I have built a Blender Cycles GPU render farm. 4 machines are
driving 9 <br>
Nvidia graphics cards on CentOS 7 and Elrepo provided Nvidia
drivers. <br>
You have saved me days of work and frustration.
<br>
Would it be possible for Elrepo to distribute Blender. This is a
very <br>
powerful and popular free program that strangely is lacking in
CentOS. <br>
The Cycles GPU renderer was designed to utilize CUDA, which only
works <br>
on actual Nvidia cards and Nvidia drivers. I can manually download
and <br>
extract the program now, so it isn't a huge deal, other than the
fact <br>
that .blend files are not associated with Blender. The reason I
ask is <br>
that Elrepo fits Blender so well I am going to recommend it to the
<br>
Blender forum. Even if you chose to do nothing, Elrepo use will be
up. <br>
Elrepo, CentOS, Nvidia and Blender go together like Oreos and
milk.
