[3dem] Workstation

[Michael Radermacher]

Just my two cents to it, for what its worth. We are using CentOS,  
mostly because each version has up to 10 years support, and have  
mostly opteron based workstations with NVIDIA quadro cards (from  
XIComputer). Otherwise, Steven Ludtke's has a lot of good info that  
should help you to configure things.
