SGI gives Linux a helping hand

SGI is set to release another component of its operating system
software to open source developers, a step that should make it easier
to restore Linux-based computers after a disaster.

Tomorrow at Linux Expo in North Carolina, SGI will announce that it
will freely license its XFS "journaling" file system technology, a
core component of its Irix operating system, as open source
software. Effectively, this means developers will be able to
incorporate XFS into their own variants of Linux.

For SGI, the move is intended to promote affinities between the Linux
community and its own products. "People will be able to take advantage
of the unique capabilities on SGI hardware," said Dave McAllister,
SGI's strategic technologist.

Don't stop me now!
