Does anybody know how to use blender, PVM, or POV for rendering?

I'm taking clusterknoppix apart and using it as a base for my 3.3 version of Overclockix. It has these apps for 3d rendering, and it is a scalable mosix cluster OS too. I beleive that it only load balances processes (a la mosix) as opposed to threading across the cluster like beowulf.

Still, it incorporates PXE booting, LTSP, and mosix all in one nice and easy to use pacakge. And its installable so you could quickly setup a server (and I'll incoporate turmelle's diskless folding scripts), so it should make it very easy to setup an FAH cluster.

Nvidia NIC's MAC info is not available to make an etherboot module, so Nforce2 boards would need to boot off a CD.

Just wondering about the 3d rendering apps and if anyone would find them useful?

I would include blender. If you can include 2 versions use blender2.3 and 2.25. 2.3 has a new gui, but I do not know if all the features are in it. Just my 2 cents.
