I have 2 sgi altix 330s
I would like a free distrobution that I can run on them.
fyi, the just-released Debian 4.0 ('etch') should work.
Hmm - I have an Altix 330 kicking about too, and I've tried that.
It's going to require some help, I think. :-)
I went into EFI command mode, and then ran elilo. The kernel loaded
from the CD fine, and began to run:

After which it went rather quiet. To me, this smells like it's
working, just not talking to the console any more. It's running
