The OS was IRIX, and Linux runs on nearly everythink :) Do you know about Agendas VR3 PDAs? The software is not as good as the one for Palm but the hardware is very cool 66Mhz Mips CPU without coprozessor and 16MB RAM. It's running linux 2.4.0-test9 with Xfree 4.x I saw a several Indy Workstations on the LinuxTag 2001 in Stuttgart/Germany. So it's portet and running. it wasn't the best. Lots of security holes, no fixes... I programmed asm on Indy in a hardware course. Hm they fix the holes from time to time ;) I'm not a coder but from the user view Irix runs very fine. I've a remote shell on a Indy2 box and the system is much more comfortable then Solaris for example.

http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/ yes you can run Debian on MIPS based Indys
