Renderfarm OS 2005-05-10 - By tony@(protected)
Back 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.
