Hmm?
Quoted from: "http://www.linux.sgi.com/goals.html":
Currently, only Indys are supported. In the long term, we would like to
see more extensive SGI platform support. Ports to newer hardware like
O2(TM), OCTANE(TM), and Origin(TM), and even to old hardware like R3000
Indigo(TM).
I agree with you that SGI hardware is usually expensive, however Indys are
pretty common computers (much more than Alpha (At least here ;)).
