Question

Hello,

I have a question about setting up a network server. I have three computers and am about to purchase another one. The next one will be the server and I will be doing some seriouious rendering on it using 3D Studio Max. The server will be the Net-renderer. What operating system would be the best for a setup like that.

Any input is welcome, thanks.

Would not suggest doing vidio apps on a server. They are not built for that - they are built for connecting stations, security and central file storage. If you must then NT4 would be best.

Unless, of course, you use gig cards and fiber! heh
