There are basically two more or less complete distributions out there:
 ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org:/pub/linux/mips/redhat
and
 http://ports.debian.org/mips
However only XL graphics is supported on the I2, Express and Impact
aren't.

Are any of these available for INDY yet?  If so, I'd like to write a
driver for one under Linux and see if we can get the _real_ world
record for over the wire tcp latency on _real_ hardware, an SGI
machine.

Oh btw, userland is coming along.  I'll post a progress report
sometime soon...

      IO4 is part of the I/O system on Challenge L and XL ("Everest", "IP19")
systems.
