Nuke and Linux ?

[Anonymous]

Hello guys,

I’d like to set-up a workstation based on Mac OS X ( snow leopard ).

On this machine I want to run the Linux version of Nuke 5.2.
The foundry recommends Linux CentOS 4.5.

But how CentOS compares to Ubuntu or Open Suse ?
Will Nuke run as well on those distros ?
Would it be as stable ? as fast ? any issues ?

I think Ubuntu is the most user friendly, with lots of drivers for it, please gimme your advices on that.

Thanks a lot,

Alfafa

You want to dual-boot between OSX and Linux on Mac hardware? Or run the Linux version on OSX??

If you want to dual-boot I would say it doesn’t matter much which distro you choose. I’ve seen it working in Ubuntu and we use it on Fedora 10* at work. I use the PLE on Gentoo at home. Can’t see why it wouldn’t work on Suse.

* Fedora is much like CentOS since both are “Red Hat Linux”.
CentOS 4.5 is pretty old and can feel outdated but is a free copy of RHEL4 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4). Newest version is CentOS 5.4 / RHEL5
Fedora 10 is from last year so is much more up to date. It is community managed and is generally perceived as “bleeding edge”.
