yep. We used to be an SGI subsidiary, and we still have our web servers 
running under IRIX (the SGI UNIX). SGI was very active (at least they 
were 4 years ago when I was working for them) in Linux development; I 
wouldn't be surprised if they had some kind of port.

people, so the chance of me installing something else is...welllll....
