Thread:Extension talk:Collection/Does not work with a Windows system/reply (2)

I also understand your frustration but it is possible to set up your own render server in a Windows enviroment, on Ubuntu running in VirtualBox. Because it can be confussing and in the end I did not know why it worked I took the time set it up multiple times and to document this on Setup a render server on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Starting from scratch you should be able to get a render server up and running in a couple of hours. Regards.
