It's just media, and it's a way dead platform.
Another issue is that some of it requires this license file thing that has
these codes that are needed for things like the C and C++ compilers, which
generally won't compile stuff written for GCC without modifications.
So if you find SGI machines always try to reset the root password and look
for the license.dat file to check if it has anything special. The file
contents look like this:
