Also, what's preventing Linux/SGI from running on O2s? I've got an R10k O2 sitting on my desk and I'd really like to see Linux running on it. I have device driver writing experience on PCs under DOS and NT, but I've never written one for a Unix type system. If there's something small that I could tackle to start out, that would be great. Thanks, Jesse Barnes
