Hi,

Regarding production, well it depends what type of
production you mean.  If its visual effects then I
would strongly recomend you research this to death or
it will be your death as post is insane.

Issues I found in post using Linux client and server;

1) Both NFS client and server are weak.  Easy to crash
or hang.

2) Not very good OpenGL support or very high end video
card support.

I am not however, informed regarding RH9 and how much
better it may be in these 2 very key feilds in post.

What I've done is use Windblowz clients (2K Pro, do
not use XP, it is not yet stable for post in my
experiance) and Samba file serving.  Reason I did is
OpenGL seems more mature in Winblowz and Samba is very
stable as I've 80+ cpus hitting a RH 8.0 XFS equiped
RAID w/o probs other than it does slow.  Forget NFS
and Linux for now atleast pre 9.  I hope 9 is cool as
I prefer homogenous envs.

Hope my input helps.  I've a lot more info but it'll
cost ya :)

Bri-
