Re: SGI 02

Hi Honson Lee,

you can get yourself a free Support Folio account at SGIs website and 
download the IRIX 6.5.22 from there:

https://support.sgi.com/register_request

or check out the Debian Linux O2 install howtos:

Haven't done it myself, but it looks at least experimental. So good luck 
with it...

         Cheers,
                        Frank...
