uhhh...IRIX is a pretty hardcore OS. I use Linux at work but most of the time I'm logged into O200's w/IRIX6.4 XLV striping, the XFS filesystem, GRIO, these things just Rock! I'm all for choice and so I actually enjoy having all these different OS's around for different things...NetBSD for firewalling & mail, Linux for workstations (on a visual workstation... mmm) and for an Origin server I think I'll stick to the OS that can scale to 256 Processors.
The heavy load is mostly due to heavy rendering dual PII 300's
I'm no longer worried about it because the rendering software has been ported to Linux. The crashes would happen after about 3 day's of rendering 24hrs. This happens to NT in alot of animation shops. They are not meant for high end computing...service packs are in place and all related hardware is top notch.
glad that you have fun with NT but for some reason all of my UNIX workstations (under the same 24/7 load as the renderfarm of NT's) rarely hiccup.
At our office we have 12 NT servers We had to write a reboot.exe for them. Now I have a cron script on an SGI (which I might move to my linux Workstation for pure joy) that rsh's to the NT's every day at 6a.m. and reboots them all. I got tired of calls in the early morning and late night about those things being hung up. (the kernal seems to bloat pretty quickly under high loads) Now the only time I get bothered is when they bluescreen. My NetBSD server and my ORIGINS have been up pretty much since our production started a year ago and the NT's get reset once a day. That IMHO is telling of the technology.
SGI still has the best designs

I really think that computing should be a fun thing and those clunky old x86 boxes don't fit in to a creative atmosphere unless you rack them in something black and spray paint "render up your XXX" on the side:)

me: "I hate my job. 30 hour days are going to kill me before I reach 25."
other: "You make how much!!(*?$(*&@#"
(jumps up and down pulling hair frustrated with teller job at bank)
other: "It can't be that bad...I mean they stock the fridge with beer and coke right? and look at all those computers you have!"
I use remote display to see visual admin apps on my servers(gmemusage on an Origin or gr_osview) Basically I only use it to do stuff on headless machines.
NFS is great for centralizing data! So many of my users are happy because every machine they log into/home/mylogin is the exact same now.
I always scratch my head and wonder after an election "Did that vote *really* matter?"
For Theo I voted with pine. I mailed the CEO my 2-Bytes (called him silly) and I'm not left scratching my head this time. I think I underestimated the number of./'ers.
Theo sounds like a cool guy and I'm glad he can keep his domain.
I would NOT have mailed the software company in order to be a part of it's recent temporary difficulties. (There's a sys-admin there pulling his hair out right now 4 sure!)
The first thing I do when I walk into work in the morning is pat my ORIGIN on it's little blue head then ask it how it's night was. (that article mentioned IRIX first -- so I'm sticking up for sgi)
The second thing I do is get a coffee and reboot all the 'NT servers'. It's a pathetic OS that is totally closed...unfortunatly the software we need only runs on IRIX or NT. Joyus day when I can move the System32 folder to the Recycle_bin!
