Everything about my SGI box.


IRIS, a purple SGI Indigo2 Solid Impact, a sweet friend of mine.

This page is dedicated to IRIS for the joyness it brings to me.

Some time later you will see its beautiful pictures here, but not now.

You can check the hardware information here.

The SGI workstations and a flavor of UNIX, IRIX, are just so amazing. Once you use them, you will love them for ever! I can't describe the feeling but it's definitely very very wonderful. What would you expect from 200MHZ MIPS CPU, 3GB harddisks in total, and 128MB memory, huh? It offers absolutely much much more than what you can imagine!

What can it do for me? hmmm, let me think. Web browsing, sending and receiving emails, typesetting TeX/LaTeX document, ... not fancy but grounded jobs.

Here is a page listing many many useful links about what I am using on IRIS.

Several freeware packages that I compiled successfully on IRIS.

A simple blog page.
