I have been given an SGI Onyx2 rackmount system with 16 MIPS RS10000
processors. I want to put linux on it and I was wondering if anyone had
experience of linux on this system or would recommend a flavour of linux
for it.
I have a collection of RedHat servers at the moment so something that
would allow me to integrate them would be good.
Please forgive me and point me in the right direction if this is not the
correct list to be sending this message to.

The graphics engine is not supported, the rest of the system is basically
an Origin 2000, which is semi-supported.

The usual suspects for this are Gentoo Linux and Debian Linux.
AFAIK Gentoo has a live CD with precompiled Kernel, for Debian
you have to patch and build your own Kernel for now.

I don't know of a .rpm based Distribution which would support SGI Origin.
