Hi, please forgive my lack of expertise and competence but I hope to improve over time.
I have recently been given a SGI Challenge DM dual mips with 4 vault storage array, a bare metal boxes no Irix OS. I would dearly love to put Debian on it but a check of the Debian site shows no support for this machine. What I would like to know is am I likely to be able to port Debian to it with a lot of hard work, pain and one hopes eventually triumphant victory. The main problem is I have only rudimentary programming skills in Perl and shell, I am starting to learn C but my skills have barely progressed beyond 'hello world'. My friends think I am mad, but this is really something I would like to do even if it takes me years. Advise support please? Peace Jim
