Linux runs on nearly everythink :)
Do you know about Agendas VR3 PDAs? The software is not as good as the one
for Palm but the hardware is very cool 66Mhz Mips CPU without coprozessor and
16MB RAM. It's running linux 2.4.0-test9 with Xfree 4.x
I saw a several Indy Workstations on the LinuxTag 2001 in Stuttgart/Germany.
So it's portet and running.

Hm they fix the holes from time to time ;)
I'm not a coder but from the user view Irix runs very fine.
I've a remote shell on a Indy2 box and the system is much more comfortable
then Solaris for example.
