OK, so no information is coming from SGI at the moment, but there must
surely be some media reports of what was shown at these conferences - has
anybody published news articles from the last couple of Linuxworld expos?
It seems strange that this collaboration between SGI and NVIDIA has a high
profile but no further information since that first press release
referenced above. Given the public interest in getting robust
high-performance OpenGL on Linux at last, I can't believe that *nobody* has
reported on what was shown at these exhibitions.
Thanks for any advice,
Gil
