SGI Octane booting

[lewis72]

Yay !! We had Octanes where I worked back in '97. They were fantastic.

I almost got an Octane once, when Boeing was trying to get rid of them.

So SGI's do a start up chime like the Macs do. Pretty nice computer for its age. Would like to have one sitting next to my PowerMac G4.

Hi.

Can you tell me what's the name of the desktop (I mean xfce, cde, etc) that is shown in this video?

Best regards.

[cybercow222]

this is 4DWM (Indigo Magic desktop) and is Irix only - if you want it on linux search for 5DWM

[cybercow222]

humm... nice, but... should the octane boot much faster than that !??? even my I2/Impact/Ir.6.5 is booted and ready to login near half of that time!? do you have system issues ?

[ItsMeOnly2]

looks that way, network and some daemons seem to be barfing (unconfigured)

[sonick808]

@ItsMeOnly2 it's only because there's no second and top-level domain in the hostname

you stopped the video when it was just starting to be interesting ; (
