Linux for IRIS

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 317 bytes --]

Hello, all
I just join this mailing list. Can somebody help me with this question?
I have a Personal Iris 4D SGI operates in IRIX 4.5. Will it be possible for me to change it into Linux for MIPS Operating System? or I have to install both OS (Linux & IRIX)? Anybody ever try this before?

Thanks

Yes,It is true. It is Irix 4.0.5,... sorry , i am mistaken. Ha..ha.
I just got this machine and i am not so familiar with this system. I am
still doing research on it. How powerful actually is this machine? If we
compare it to today's Pentium classes machine, which pentium class has the
same power with this machine?
Does it enough to do some 3D modelling/animation job?
