Well, you didn't read everything :-) David S. Miller is currently porting
my MIPS port (for a number of more or less PC-like machines and
DECstations) to SGI workstations. For now it isn't yet working on all
types of SGI machines but progress is fast and a first distribution is
expected soon.
Once my mentors (Greg Chesson and Larry McVoy) return from their
respective buisness trips at the end of the week I will work on
merging my massive kernel changes back to Ralf. Libc is coming along
(Ralf and I are already working closely on this one) so I should be
able to build a set of binaries to make up the Red Hat base install
set and work from there.

objdump -d :-)
I miss adb on the Sparc, and have grown used to dbx for these purposes
;-)
