(computers & tech) FREE SGI Indy and O2 (North of Boston) (fwd)

Use the admin toolbox for just about any administration task.  I'm
sure there are ways to do things without their gui admin tools, but I
found it easiest to just use them.

The IRIX manpages are rather informative too.. Sorry to hear you can't
use GCC, I've been told by friends that IRIX's CC is superior, but I
don't really believe it =)

Good luck.
