The O2, an entry level Unix workstation, was introduced in the mid 90s and came with a single MIPS CPU. Here, we see some baby Octanes, haha! It officially ran on IRIX UNix OS but also supported the Linux and BSD families of operating systemsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/SGI_O2#unix #history

@nixCraft I adored the design of those SGI workstations back when I was a budding computer geek in high school… a few years later various outmoded machines like O2, Oxygen, and Indy workstations were repurposed into catalog search computers at a college library I worked at. That’s a whole lotta machine for library searches, but it was nice to see such lovely designs on hands-on display.
