The SGI O2 is a MIPS based system. Its only resemblance to PC hardware is that SGI started using PS/2 mice and keyboards, and standard VGA connectors around the time they released the O2. The guts are completely different. You probably can run linux on it, but its not worth the effort. Frankly, if you want to use it seriously, stick to Irix. Nothing else will come close to supporting the hardware as well as Irix will. C.
