Trying to administer an IRIX box is like trying to drive a jet car with no steering wheel or brakes, and all the controls are labeled in Cantonese.

Actually coming from Sun boxes and other Unix system I tought IRIX was pretty easy to admin. Plus the boxes were extremely fast. i was the webmaster for a large non-profit and the IT folks wanted me to give up an Indy and a Challenge X to migrate to Windows/IIS. I asked why I sould give up something faster, with better performance, and laready paid for -- and for once won a battle.

SGI ships mostly Linux boxes these days, especially SuSE and Red Hat. SuSE SLES9 and upcoming SLES10 run out of the box on SGI Altix systems.
