[Sidefx-houdini-list] advice on a "set shot" workflow inwindows!??!! (WTF)

[Larry Giunta]

Apologies in advance if this is going off topic ....
But just curious if anyone can chime in on these issues as it relates  
to working with Houdini on the latest MacOS?
Especially if you're dropping a mac in with an otherwise Linux based  
network/pipeline.

Just wondering if it will be very difficult to get command line  
render scripts (and similar type tools, etc) working smoothly
.... or will it be a lot of fussing to get it all working similar to  
Linux.
