The only free OS that I know that runs on the o2 is netbsd. and this does not work with X, just serial console and network. expect to never see a free X that works on the o2 because we have no documentation for the hardware nor anybody at sgi who knows how it works. (i guess somebody could reverse engineer it, but it will be *very* hard to do). i would just stick with IRIX which has most freeware ported to it so that you can use all the Linux apps. -tduffy On Wed, 25 Oct 2000, R.
