Care to share? Heh. Not like it'll happen. They _are_ nice boxes; I just despise IRIX with a passion. My opinion tends to agree with those already expressed on the list. IRIX == The Wrong Way (tm). SGI Hardware == Very Cool (tm). Now, if we could get Linux to run on these boxes, I'd be a very happy man. Carl pretty much summed up the reasons why in his email, so I'll not dwell on it further. Oh, on Logical Volume Management on IRIX, it's part of XFS. I think if you grep the XFS discussion lists, you'll probably see questions regarding that very topic. It'd be interesting to hear what SGI plans to do w/the XFS LVM. Linux's LVM works quite well, by the way. It's in 1.0.1rc4 right now, which has fortunately been merged with 2.4.15-pre6, I believe. Another nice merge into 2.4-pre series is ext3! ;-) I know what I'll be doing once it is! ;-) -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr Key fingerprint = B4AB D627 9CBD 687E 7A31 1950 0CC7 0B18 206C 5AFD -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
