SGI Indigo Magic Desktop for Linux Project Needs Betatesters

Yes, IRIX based applications could be ported to Linux with very little changes in the GUI front-end. IMD for Linux will provide a similar Interactive Desktop environment where applications like toolchest, iconcatalog, fm and others made SGI’s Desktop Technology so famous.
