I think it was 2001? that Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) replaced their SGI workstations with linux boxes running RedHat 7.5 and powered by a Nvidia Quadro2 gpu.

That and in ~2004, ILM, along with the other LucasFilm and Games --> Lucas Presidio... during which a lot of SGI machines were scrapped.
