Some SGIs (Challenges, Origins, Indys, IndigoIIs, O2s, and presumably 
Onyxs and Onyx2s) can run linux, but it is a waste of a perfectly good
machine to do so (well for the Indys, IndigoIIs O2s and Onyxs at
least).  Better to stick with Irix since nothing supports video or
anything but the most vanila hardware decently.
