Exploring early GUIs

[Michael Kerpan]

Well, CD images are available on the Web for both IRIX 5.3 and 6.5.
Various manuals, including installation guides seem to be available at
http://irix7.com/techpubs.html

As long as you have a CD drive (which you would have needed to install
Linux), you should be good to go, though certain bits and pieces like
the compilers probably need license keys to work properly.
