Well, I'm an admin on both an SGI network and my Linux box. Both
Linux and Irix are good OS's; neither one is bug free. The biggest
difference I see between the two is that Linux bugs are fixed and the patches
posted before I can blink, while SGI bugs (like those of any commerical Unix)
have to wait for the next release and may not be fixed even then.
