I did not saw the 'L'; he, he, a far cry from an Indy! The Challenge L is a multiprocessor machine, so I don't know if you can use Linux. I think I saw a post some where from some SGI engineer booting Linux in a big Challenge server, but it was just like a little experiment ... = Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

The Challenge is basicaly an Indy without video, so I guess the Indy port would work. Go to: http://oss.sgi.com/mips/ Also, Debian has a mips port: http://www.debian.org/ports/mips/index And then there is the mips port: http://lena.fnet.fr/ Good luck! = Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

I have an Indigo2 and apparently must use one of the BSDs, also a TurboChannel+Alpha DEC (Digital 3000/400) which I can use Linux on but must install it headless if I do. -- lost: oNE "cAPS lOCK" KEY. rEWARD OFFERED.

Have you talked to SGI yet? There is an SGI Linux, based off of Red Hat 6.0/6.1/6.2 (there may be a newer one based on 7.0, not sure) that runs on a good portion of their systems. http://oss.sgi.com/ and http://www.linux.sgi.com/ "Other machines boot - but only via serial console. These are: Indigo2, Challenge S." Not sure how up to date that is, the page is dated July 2000. I'd like to see Mandrake pick up the SGI patches and integrate them, so that Mandrake could add YAA (Yet Another Architecture) to their list.
