Well, I have some good news. it seems the long hiatus is over. We shipped two Indys to David at Rutgers, they were DOA and we had some delay in getting them fixed. Today David emailed me that the two machines are in his office and working fine. He's is ready to give the port the final push to make it ready for prime-time. Thanks to Kim Vogt, Demetrio Pinto, Larry and Greg for their help in getting David going again. More good news (and only good news :-) as they develop. -- Peace, Ariel From owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Fri Oct 4 15:30:35 1996 Received: from cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (cthulhu.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.2]) by neteng.engr.sgi.com (8.7.6/960327.SGI.AUTOCF) via SMTP id PAA07633; Fri, 4 Oct 1996 15:30:35 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: (from daemon@localhost) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (950413.SGI.8.6.12/960327.SGI.AUTOCF) id WAA19785 for linux-list; Fri, 4 Oct 1996 22:30:20 GMT Received: from yarmouth.engr.sgi.com (yarmouth.engr.sgi.com [198.29.64.22]) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (950413.SGI.8.6.12/960327.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id PAA19776 for ; Fri, 4 Oct 1996 15:30:18 -0700 Received: from yarmouth (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by yarmouth.engr.sgi.com (950413.SGI.8.6.12/960327.SGI.AUTOCF) via SMTP id PAA07692 for ; Fri, 4 Oct 1996 15:32:25 -0700 Message-ID: <32559078.41C6@engr.sgi.com> Date: Fri, 04 Oct 1996 15:32:24 -0700 From: Ken Rose X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0GoldC-SGI (X11; I; IRIX 6.2 IP22) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Subject: Do you want the Linux Bible book?

I've elected solution (2), so I was hoping someone on this list would be able to use the book.

One of the departments in one of India's premier Technical Institutes, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi has decided to purchase hardware if and only if the vendor can demonstrate Linux running on it. I hope to meet the professor concerned (*) with this decision in the coming week (or the week after). Any ammo you can arm me with to face him and make him consider SGI would be very welcome.
