I started it a few posts ago, and quite probably I was not real clear writing what I meant. Simply stated I meant: (Total Linux servers) >> (Total Linux movie rendering machines.) The point I meant to make by that is that video card manufacturers may support the larger server market with decent 2D or console support, but not add good 3D support because it is not required in the server market and the movie rendering population is too small to worry about. > My comment was specifically in response to: > > >> >I'd bet even the big > >> >film studios don't use Linux to view the final rendering.

I I have no problem with your conclusion, just that the movie studios may not need the top notch graphics (however movie studios define that), on the linux machines, if they use a Windows, Mac, SGI machine, or other rig, to view the final rendering or construct the graphics scenes in the first place.
