There are cool positions out there.... (Score 1)

Ok, well for a quick overview of my non-classified job. Our own computer network, 95% Irix/Linux. A small handfull of windows bastard-boxes. We build ALL of our machines ourselves (except for those aging SGI's). I compile at least one kernel a week. If I'm lucky, sometimes more :) Hell, sometimes I even get to patch 'em up to do fun stuff, like serve up > 2TB partitions through NFS (large block device patch is shweet). We build flight sims mostly. The remaining time we're actually doing our job writing code, mostly openGL stuff. Lot's of Performer, but it's getting phased out to openScenegraph. Performer sucks nuts. The only good things to come from SGI were openGL and XFS. However, there aren't many positions like this. I just stumbled into it myself....
