Honestly, if you are interested in running X on an SGI I would strongly
suggest using IRIX.  The graphics hardware and IRIX OS are very tightly
coupled, so I do not think you will find a third party OS (Open or not)
that will match the performance and reliability of IRIX.  It's also a
pretty great OS and pkgsrc works great on it as well! :)
