Well, I will correct you. I got Linux running on the Indigo2 last year sometime. I even built a beowulf cluster out of eight of them. Unfortunately, I have left the University I was doing this at and no longer have access to an Indigo2 to play with. > > > /me mumbles something about XFree86 4.0 on MIPS > > Does it have a driver for the funky SGI > "who-needs-a-framebuffer-when-you've-got-OpenGL-pipes" graphics > hardware, then? Last I heard, it was going to be very difficult to get programming specs out of SGI for the Graphics boards in the Indigo2s. There are some specs available for the Elan board, but I do not know if any Indigo2s actually shipped with one. -- Andrew R.
