Yes, it is.

you may want to give
ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/test/linux-2.2.1-dec.tar.gz
a try. Altough still in a *very* experimental state we have serial
console, networking and SCSI running, well, sort of :-). This source tree
should work on both but Linux/MIPS isn't generic yet, i.e. you have to
make shure to compile this source tree for the right target CPU.

If your i386 boxen are glibc based you can get an crosscompiling
environment from
ftp://bolug.uni-bonn.de/mips/
and additional information is available via:
http://decstation.unix-ag.org

Never mind. If you have further questions, feel free to ask me.
