...but yeah... make a Linux version.

At least of Queue Manager and FFRender... with a command line version of Queue  Manager... or of both... that support the networked rendering, at the bucket level, that I think lmckenzie was referring to?

;-)

Fully agreed, and ship it with a bootable live image of Queue Manager and the linux core and network support. Copy the image on a CD and boot your PC networked with the CD in the slot and done. Feed it from the network and watch it's circuits glow red-hot on nothing else but rendering.
