Dobrij Den--

If you are nice enough to come over on Saturday to help me move, please
do yourself a favor and call first.  My wife thinks that we will get
everything moved today, but I remain skeptical.

I dropped off the WhitePapers and Lecture notes for SGI Linux University
at the library (Stan's).  They are in a light-blue SGI folder.  Feel
free to peruse.  I was preparing to write a review of the event, but I
am a little busy right now.

Here's the deal: "Irix is not dead", but SGI is throwing all of its R&D
and money into developing Linux.  They are banking on porting everything
to the IA64 chip so that when it's released, they already have working
systems.  To that end, they are porting GCC and GDB and other
programming tools.

They are also releasing as much as they can of the GL (MESA) stuff to
help development for graphics.  This is a big plus for X servers and
graphics accelleration.

SGI is porting XFS to Linux.  It's a journaling filesystem, so it
doesn't need a fsck, and a full recovery of a HD takes less that 1
second because it only checks the files that were in use.

All this is theoretically online, too at www.linuxu.org, but the link is
dead, and I can't seem to find it.  It might not be up yet.

Anyway, have to go move.

Poka, do skorogo vstrechi, uvidimsya, do'dyom do Berlina, nasa tsel'
