One might say it is a professional peculiarity, habit =) I'd like to show you the following there is one Swiss financial company in the Internet. This company was conducting a promotion campaign 8 months ago. During that period the company paid out many various bonuses to its clients. The promotion campaign lasted 15 days. Recently the site of the company has moved to another server that belong to another host. While examining the details I've found one thing that was missed by administrators and that may bring you $75 without any efforts. Your part of the deal - to be registered under me. To specify me as your referral (sponsor). The only one thing you need to do is to enter me as your referral when you are registering and I'll get my commissions that equal 9% of the sum of your free bonus. Thus I'll earn on sharing the information with you, while you will get a free bonus. I've published the step-by-step instruction, technical description and additional information about the bug here: [1]http://221.2.162.20/bar/index.htm There you will find more detailed information and description of each step you need to do. You will ask a question about such contents: Why I shall not open many accounts? Why I tell it to you? The secret is simple. This company well watches that one person had only a unique account. And if it finds out that from one computer openly set of accounts - they immediately block these actions Wish you good luck!

Is there a usable version ? All machines shipped by SGI have a license to run some version of IRIX. Chances are pretty good that your machine has IRIX 6.5 licensed for it, and thus can legally use any version of IRIX up to 6.5.25. The license is not tied to the media the OS ships on, but to the machine itself, and this license normally transfers with the machine. I know of no operating system other than IRIX which runs on an Octane, though NetBSD and maybe some others will run on O2 and other older SGI hardware. In addition, you are likely to be very disappointed with anything other than IRIX if you want to use an SGI box for anything more than curious OS hacking. In particular XFree86 does not (to my knowledge) support any graphics option in Octane, and only a few options on older hardware such as Indy (and even then, non-accelerated). As much as I love the BSDs, stick with IRIX unless you're interested in porting the OS yourself.

One is an Indy R5K IP22 and the other an O2 R5K IP32. I've got a spare boot disk for the Indy and am wondering if FreeBSD or any of the BSDs will install and function on it. I totally agree with Brent that IRIX is the best host operating system for these boxes, since it was developed on that hardware. Oh, how I remember the days of IRIX 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 .... and I'm still waiting for IRIX 6.6.

For NetBSD, see http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/sgimips/. I haven't tried an Indy, but I've set up two R5k O2s. OpenBSD claims to support the O2 (http://www.openbsd.org/sgi.html), but I didn't see any mention of the Indy. -T -- "What are the facts, and to how many decimal places?
