“After a turbulent 1999, Silicon Graphics Inc. hopes to charge
out of the gate in 2000 by getting a boost from Linux.”
“SGI, based here, is banking on a new line of
workstations-including Linux-based and Windows NT-based models-to
win back market share.”
“We do see an opportunity to stake a top position in [the Linux]
market,” said Geoff Stedman, director of marketing for SGI.”
“SGI has been working for at least several months on
developing 3-D graphics drivers for Linux, Stedman said. They will
be available and shipping during the first half of next year, he
added.“
