I think that the article was saying that this is the largest deployment of Linux boxes dedicated for graphics _workstations_ in the movie industry, not the largest ever. The writer didn't realy do a very good job of getting that point across.

A lot of people who hear about Linux being used for high-end graphics they automaticly assume stuff like "Oh well of course they are using it in the servers/rendering, everybody knows that for film stuff {OS X, Windows XP} is standard."

When in relatity it's actually the Linux desktop is the one that dominates in this sort of arena.
