Hey, I actually like IRIX quite a bit! :)
Granted, if I wanted to run an Internet server, I would probably
reach for one of my Sun slabs running NetBSD, but my desktop UNIX
workstation sitting next to me here is an Indigo2!
I love SGI hardware -- I have a ton of Indy, Indigo, and Indigo2
systems that I run as UNIX workstations around the house, and I
have not yet found a window manager that I prefer over 4Dwm.
All my SGI machines are superbly reliable, although security can
get to be a concern sometimes.
16 CDs? That seems really strange -- I tend to throw almost the
entire system on my machines (drive space willing) and it takes
maybe six or seven for 6.5.0...
Kind regards,
Sean Caron
