Weta Digital is a great example as they are now an entirely Ubuntu shop, with Ubuntu used for *both* their workstations and their render farms. Films they have worked on include Avatar, District9, Day the Earth Stood Still, Jumper, King Kong, Lord of the Rings, Fantastic Four, Eragon, X-Men, i-Robot.

Ubuntu does own the cloud guest OS market with about 60% market share worldwide (see http://thecloudmarket.com/stats for up to date stats), I suppose some of the same benefits that made Ubuntu so dominant in the cloud also apply to render farms.
what you linked said but did not have any links to prove it
"He notes that his farm (he calls it a "render wall") is in fact an Ubuntu Server farm, and not RHEL as he has seen reported in the media"

"Mir is naturally still under heavy development, so don’t consider it finished quite yet. ;-)"
what this really needs to say is
"Xmir is naturally still under heavy development, so don’t consider it finished at all ;-) as we don't even know what we're doing thats why to coded Mir in C++ as that works well in low level systems?"

Do you think Canonical will target embedded platforms obscure enough so that a C++ compiler wouldn't be available (especially when choosing a C++ based toolkit for application development)?
