I once read that they moved off Solaris (Unix) to Linux. They use it on the
desktop too (the clusters are all Linux).
Recently I learned that some studios choose to run Photoshop on Linux (with
Wine). If only there was a company to issue press releases about it and send
out shills like Waggener-Edstrom to make a fuss about it in the media...
No need. Linux advertises itself. A friend tells a friend.
