Hi guys,

I'm looking for a suitable operating system to setup a scalable visual
effects pipeline on...freeBSD is a candidate, but I need to know if it will
run the tools we use. Thus:

- Has anyone run Maya (the visual effects software) on freeBSD? Maya runs on
win/mac/irix/linux. Though there is no 'official' release for freeBSD...has
anyone successfully used it?

- Along similar lines, has anyone run Houdini (also, some visual effects
software) on freeBSD?

Any help with this would be much appreciated.
