I'm not sure I understand what that means, but I'm pretty sure that Vegas is
not universally agreed to be a good idea, unless I've missed a meeting.
Just to set the record straight, there are people at SGI who don't like either
the BSD or Linux stacks ;->.
The one thing that I will say about the Linux stack is that it is evolving much
more rapidly than any of the public BSD versions are (I spent some time porting
aliases forward from one version to another for a friend, and the improvements
between versions were amazing), so at some point it will probably win on
functionality.
