It currently supports all Indy models (R4400, R4600, or R5000 MIPS(TM) CPUs, with or without secondary caches). Additional SGI hardware support is planned but not yet available. Do you have web access? If so, please take a look at: For status of the port: http://www.linux.sgi.com/status.html For Projects: http://www.linux.sgi.com/projects.html For source and binaries: http://www.linux.sgi.com/software.html For installation instructions: http://www.linux.sgi.com/howtos.html And the FAQ to answer these and many more questions: http://www.linux.sgi.com/faq.html Thanks!
