Ok, so I am on a new start-up site dedicated to Alternative OS use...
Alt.OS: http://acill.com/modules/news/
Being caught up in the discussion and the vote to have some Irix/SGI forums set up on this site really got me thinking about my cool little SGI Indy (Circa ~1994). The Indy was IMHO such a groundbreaker for SGI - it brought a graphics/unix workstation to the masses for a fairly affordable price. It is by no means the current "chosen" model to hack around with in the SGI world right now - but I have one, haven't really used it much, and I am pretty partial to it just because I had always wanted one when it was released - and was able to aquire one a few years ago.
Sooo getting back to Alt.OS - I thought it would be cool to do my own spin on the, (example) "I used a Mac SE/30 for a month as my primary machine"-type concept. I am going to get my way through using my Indy as my primary machine a week, month, or perhaps longer - and kind of blog-out the expierence.
This will be my first foray into this blog of mine and I am looking forward to getting started with "Project Indy". Wish me luck - I am pretty much going into this blind. :)
