Yeah, last time I looked, there was a partially working Linux for
Indys (R4K/R5K) that ran in serial console. No graphics. Might have been
multiuser, maybe not. Even though I have a working Indy, I stuck with
Irix.
I also thought I had seen dmesg from where some brave soul had
booted a Linux SMP kernel on a Origin or something with like 32
processors.. no idea if that was a hoax, or what became of it.
Given the published SGI strategy of Linux on x86 and IRIX on MIPS,
something tells me any Linux on SGI MIPS machines is going to be a total
hack anyway.
