First off, congrats Kiki on this excellent project. Did a 64bit install on this Presario V6000 laptop yesterday and it really looks nice and is working quite well. I did however get an md5sum error when attempting to d/l and install blender this morning. Can you suggest anything?
Cheers
update: now 14:21 EST, it passes md5sum check and installs, but renders the machine completely unresponsive requiring a hard crash/reboot...removepkg is my friend here...
you do know blender is a 3d modeling program and uses Nvidia's CUDA or OpenCL ( CPU cores)
it really needs a lot of system resources
a DESKTOP i3 or i5 or laptop i5 or i7
4 cores really is needed
a single core CPU will bog down very fast
and you really need a few gig's of ram
please post your hardware specs
i run Blender 2.76b on a older i5 cpu ( 5 year old )with 8 gig of ram
My nvidia card is too OLD and dose not support the current CUDA
thanks John, yeah I know what blender is. Curiously the 32-bit 2.76b version starts and runs on a P4 1.6ghz laptop I have, but the 64bit version won't on this laptop which is an older dual core AMthlon64 with an NVidia GeForce GPU.
however if this is a case of hardware incompatibility I'll admit defeat...I couldn't find minimum hardware requirements on the blender site.

That's probably because I was uploading stuff at the same time. Uploads sometimes take a couple hours, because my upload speed is ridiculous. If you get an md5sum error, just wait a little bit and try again. Or you could use the slackware.org.uk mirror, which has a complete mirror of my stuff.
