Just came across an article in the weekly Ubuntu News Letter on the processing of digital stuff in AVATAR the movie - a mob in New Zealand did it with UBUNTU.

"The computing core - 34 racks, each with four chassis of 32 machines each - adds up to some 40,000 processors and 104 terabytes of RAM. The blades read and write against 3 petabytes of fast fiber channel disk network area storage from BluArc and NetApp."

Also has more info if you are interested:
