It is true that lots of the major pipelines,
especially ones heavily into CGI
work, are turning to Linux systems. However, most
or them are the huge industry
powerhouses (Pixar, Dreamworks etc) who have their own in house software and
developement. They are just simply porting their software over to Linux. So
even though they are proving that Linux works as an excellent OS for media
production, very little of the apps they use are available to the public. And
of course they are willing to get their hands dirty... :o)
Both of these projects had links for purchase if you want to use what
the big boys use:
Alias Wavefronts Maya is available for purchase:

I bet you could purchase Pixars Renderman to do your rendering also:
