Is there a usable version ? http://hardware.majix.org/computers/sgi/buyers-guide.shtml has a section ("IRIX") that discusses some of the IRIX license issues.

I'd prefer to run FreeBSD but, last I heard on this this, the port wasn't at a comparable level of development yet. http://www.seekingfire.com/projects/e3hardware/index.html#laz -T -- | <- You must be smarter than this stick to ride the Internet -- Mike Handler, paraphrased from Bev White
