Hello there.

I would like to reiterate the question that started this post 12 years ago. What can be the reason for one to use at home, or work for that mater, an SGI/IRIX machine? I would like to mention that 15-20 years ago I used one of those magic Indigo2 boxes for CAD design and ware way much faster than any contemporary Windows boxes. How, living with the nostalgia of those times, I think to buy one Fuel workstation. The main question still stands:
what will be the use of this SGI/IRIX machine.

Cheers,
Marius

Hello there,

There are several weeks now since I've got my first Fuel and, due to missing OS, it is still dead.
Thanks though for the tip with OpenBSD, but at this point my Unix-like command line knowledge is very limited. Same for tip with the work that is done in LINUX.

But the good news is that I've got another box, an Indigo2 with IRIX 6.2 in working condition. The question that I have is how can I connect it to the Internet? My home network is Windows/Android/Linux with about 10 devices without domain and I am connected to the NET through a standard Bell gateway.

Thanks for help
Marius

I might be misteken but do I have to have a HOME Domain Name Server in order to get in the Net? I hope I am wrong...
