Installing Maya 4.5 on Linux

This is a discussion about Installing Maya 4.5 on Linux in the Everything Linux category; I use this program alot for work on Windows 2000. I heard that it is possible to run it on Linux and be more stable and a bit faster. How would I go about doing this? I use Redhat 8 if that makes much of a difference.

This is my first time using Linux and I know almost nothing about installing anything. All I know is I need to upgrade to XFree86 4 at least to install the latest drivers for my vid card. I don't even know how to do that...
 
Good with windows, but went into Linux not knowing what to expect.

You'll need to get Maya 4.5 for Linux, I don't think it works in RedHat 8, you need RedHat 7.2/7.3 for it. I've got RedHat 7.3, it all installs fine, the window opens and gets to where it would be usable and just crashes out with an unknown error
 
It may be something with my set up, but I've checked the Maya website and my setup should be ok. I hope you have more luck than me.

I have and it runs like a charm in Linux, but you need to have your own CDKey to install it. It comes on 2 CDs, able to install on most Unixes, Linuxes.
