Re: Any teams use Linux?
I had begun work on a scouting system using linux for some laptops we got my senior year. It was using a mysql db, apache, and mysql and would have been a sweet little system other teams might have been able to use. Then they decided they'd rather use Windows instead. Grumble. Anyways, Linux is a great solution for scouting machines.. especially if they're low-end laptops and if you can get ahold of a wireless network. Another good use might be as part of a render farm. I'm not totally sure which 3D apps have a networkable rendering engine available for them, but 3DS max may. *shrug*
