Avatar's effects were all done on Linux. I believe WETA uses Linux exclusively for effects.
If Creative Suite moved over, a lot of audio/video/effects professionals would move to Linux. I read an article about how sound engineers are moving over to Linux because of the RT kernel.
Weta uses Linux because the software they use run on Linux, not because they really, really want to (though that might be a factor). Autodesk IFFFS and Lustre are Linux tools in their highend configs, Houdini is a Linux tool etc.
In the creative/postproduction field it is all about the tools, the software. Nobody cares what platform it runs on, as long as the system works. Audio professionals will move to Linux once Digidesign gets Protools to run there reliably _and_ the plugin manufacturers have ported their plugins over. the RT kernel has diddly squat to do with it./jussi

Yeah, I thought of this as well. I went with PFSense for our network, but this seems to be what the original post meant. /jussi
_But_ to get good people to do bad things, you need religion.
By default, good people do good things and bad people do bad things. Bad to get good people to do bad things, really bad things, you need religion.
And the pretty much sums up the problem with religion.
