I like IRIX much better than Linux for a vareity of reasons, not the least 
of which is that inst is a *much* better package management tool than rpm.
There are other things, too, like a lot of the kernel internals that 
people who havent hacked the IRIX kernel might now know.  I will say that
IRIX is built a lot stronger on the inside than Linux.  Linux seems to 
still be centered around small systems (until today :) ), whereas IRIX
was built to scale from 1 to 1024 CPUs, mass quantities of peripherials,
I/O, clustered filesystems, etc.
