We are interested in your comments about their hardware and the software integration services they make available. Please browse our forum post on the issue, and post a comment to let us know what you think about them, and if you would be interested in being able to buy your render nodes with Smedge already preinstalled and licensed.

2 Minutes in Smedge! February 11, 2010
I have uploaded a short video (actually about 2 and a half minutes total) with a very brief introduction to installing and using Smedge. This video shows how quickly you can get Smedge up and running. It was made on a Mac, but everything is the same on Windows and Linux except for the actual installation of the software itself (which is still amazingly easy on every platform).

This is just a quick introduction to Smedge, but it can be useful for those of you who are exploring the software or just getting started. Please let us know if you have any quetsions!
