Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hey, i was just skimming through all the old posts about which Linux is the best to run maxwell on and most of them were made back with maxwell 1.6 / 1.7.

Were building a Linux Render Server and my hardware dude was asking if Suse Server 11 was a good buy.
Of course I'm interested in Speed but evenmore so stability of course. I will be using the network preferably from OSX Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro Workstation.

Any Light on this subject?

Thanks,
Joris
