Ahh, I see I must be good enough for someone to impersonate.  Don't know who that VoidMain #274 is.

And they used Linux to create a lot of the special effects in "Titanic".

Hahaha lol
Shrek was done on Silicon Graphics workstations b/c if you own the dvd there is a special feature called "The tech of Shrek" and all the computers are running IRIX.  
Irix/SGI systems are built from the ground up for graphical work and I dont think Linux will ever become successful in that field.

Actually I believe they used a combination of SGI and Linux clusters (as the articles state) but SGI probably paid them for not mentioning using Linux....  It's still UNIX. SGI *has* been the choice in this industry for a *long* time but you can get a lot more raw CPU power for rendering at much lower costs on Linux clusters.
