Would SGI have a problem if the document was auspiced under The Linux Documentation Project? This would have the effect of throwing it to a wider audience, a peer review system some of whom have no idea what I'm talking about (always a good thing -- this is a tutorial, so the only thing I'd assume is that the person knows a little about working with the Linux Kernel source code and file system concepts)... Would SGI mind if the document were under the GNU Document Licence? (I forget the correct acronym) DSL -- Con te partiro, su navi per mari Che io lo so, no, no non esistono piu Con te io li vivro.
