if this is any encouragement, digital domain did use linux alpha boxes to
render titianic. reminds me of sun though, just because those were used in
toy story and lightwave got ported, does not give reason for sun to catch
on in the 3d market. its sad to see a much faster and more stable platform
lose out to marketing. (sometimes NT can be as fast, if youve got enough
ram what the hell is NTs overhead for?)
