Wow! I for one am totally thrilled with SGI! Having worked on
both Openvault and  XFS ,  I know both of these contributions
will be terrific for Linux as no equivalents exist (to my
knowledge) yet.  At last, Linux will have a quality journalling
file system with guaranteed rate IO etc. Now all we need 
Alias Wavefront and other tools to do those cool graphics! 
There is work on getting OpenGL to work with Matrox!! Yippee.
