IRIX is not readily available, nor has it ever been. Officially, one gets an entitlement to IRIX when one buys SGI hardware. SGI however has historically turned a blind eye to those few in the know that run IRIX and know where and how to get it. With SGI's recent definitive demise, it looks like now it will be next to impossible to get IRIX anyway. > And now i ask my question in other words : simply how > to compose music outside of Linux ? Lobby with the sound tools authors to at least help port to Solaris, if they don't want to adopt it as their main development platform. For example, for the last two and a half years I've been lobbying by Matti Hamalainen to port xmms-sid plugin to Solaris, with limited success. > I'm not sure, that the response exists... Sure it exists. It's to dump Linux and return once again to Solaris and adopt it again as the main OpenSource development platform! The exuse "I don't have any Solaris machines to do development on" just does not hold water any more, if it ever did. Solaris is free-as-in-beer and there is absolutely no excuse to not install it on your PC at home. I get this argument often, but it's a fallacy.
