    I was wondering if someone can point me a ‘How to” make a linux render farm. I have a ubuntu box and a couple of old windows i’d like to use. I figure to use the linux box as a queue manager and the old windows as render workhorses. Where can I start? what do I do first? btw…for 3ds, ligthwave, aftereffects… any help would do, thanks

    Well, the install script of the linux distribution let you install the basic files. But keep in mind that we do not provide an init.d script for ubuntu, so you’ll need to make it manually if you want to autostart the Dispatcher.
    About Windows, just follow the manual instructions to setup the renderclients on your nodes.
