We just replaced Rush by RoyalRender and i must say i really like it! We are 
dispatching from Linux, OsX and Windows on Linux servers and it works 
perfectly. Render machines are Linux and Windows. Also the render check 
features are really nice( frame check, web quicktime as post render etc). It 
has a python API which is a big plus too.
