[geeks] Linc is cool

[Joshua D. Boyd]

Indy with newport graphics (or serial console).  Indigo2 (not sure which
processor board) on serial console.  Challenge DM.  Origin 2000.  Likely
Onyx2 on serial console.  O2, sorta (PCI not working, so that severely
limits things).

The only one that is really useable is Linux on an Indy with Newport
graphics.  The newport graphics is an 8bit unaccelerated board.  At least
one other SGI indy video option is capable of emulating the newport board.
