“Workstation. It?s a term in the IT industry that either gets
you very excited because of the sheer performance of such systems
due to the hardware associated with a workstation. Or on the other
hand, the term may scare the hell out of you because workstations
usually cost many thousands of dollars.

“More so than an everyday desktop system designed for checking
your email. Workstations are specially designed and built systems
set for a specific task. The graphics and animation industry is a
prime example of what workstations are used for. And that?s what
we?re going to do today in this article. I?m going to show you that
you can put together a Linux based workstation designed for
graphics based tasks that can easily rival that of commercial
workstation systems.”
