Hi all,

I'm about to take delivery of a mini renderfarm (10 dual cpu ibms in a small
rack enclosure), but was wondering what the best OS for it should be. I'm
currently using xsi on winxp, so should I stick with that? How about linux? And
is there a particular flavour of linux i should use? I have limited unix skills,
but am sure i'm up to setting up a linux server.

Also, I don't have batchserve. Up until now i've simply been using xsibatch
command line rendering to set off distributed rendering. I'm comfortable with
it and find it adequate for my needs, but should I consider investing in
batchserve or some sort of render management software now that i have this
mini-farm.

cheers
Tony.
