"DreamWorks, the animation company behind Shrek 2, has raised the curtain on the technology which made the blockbuster possible.
Linux played a key role in creating the film, which had its London premiere yesterday and enjoyed the biggest opening weekend ever for an animated film on its release in the US.
...Over 330 Hewlett Packard workstations running Linux were used by digital artists to create the animations.
The xw8000 workstation featured Red Hat Linux 7.2, dual-Intel Xeon 2.4GHz processors, nVidia Quadro 4 XGL graphics cards, 2GB Ram and dual monitors."
