good use of these RISC boxes other that "cute" bookends. >>
Wow those are neat looking. They are RISC R5000 cpu's like 210Mhz (RISC)
yes ? I think you are in for a battle. You can weave your own LTSP for
these I think with another OS. Find a linux distro for that hardward and
see if it works. These are not x86 workstations so an "out-of the box"
K12LTSP install won't work for you. Try to find a linux distro for that
hardware. They did not come with IRIX ? Might have to go FreeBSD, I don't
recall seeing a linux distro for the R5000 cpu. I would love to be wrong
for your sake. :) ;) They are cool are they blue or black ?
Hope this helps,
