If you are going to say things like this, please make some justifications. The fact is that IRIX is an incredable OS, it does have it's issues, but what OS doesn't. If I was in a business position, I would choose IRIX over linux in just about every case. And talk about some amazing hardware. If anyone on this list has ever seen a 1024 processor Origin 3800, you know what I mean. I don't see linux scaling to 1024 processors as a single image system, hell I don't even see solaris doing that. At anyrate, just have the decency to give some justification to your argument, as far as we know, you are just a really bad sysadmin and don't know how to admin the systems. > On Wed, Nov 21, 2001 at 12:32:44AM -0600, Bob Tanner wrote: > > http://www.cio.com/archive/111501/tl_linux_content.html > > > > Good news for some, not good news for others on this list. > > > > I'm not a SGI expert, but I have always held them in awe after seeing FOX > > Sports using some O2's for Superbowl. > > > > Has Linux really come that far to displace O2 and Origin servers? > > I can't tell you how happy I'll be when I can get rid of the SGI O2's > and Origin's in the IMA!
