Silicon Graphics' IRIX and Magic Desktop return as Linux desktop

Computational Chemist using Cerius2

Hi Korev,

I'm in fact a computational chemist using an old SGI O2 workstation running Cerius2 software...

... until yesterday when the workstation said goodbye.

I only switched it on from time to time when I was in need of using a specific command of Cerius2 which has never been ported to Materials Studio, the sequel of Cerius2.

Now, my only option would be to try run IRIX on my PC-ubuntu and reinstall Cerius2 from an old CD containing the software. Do you think this is possible using this?:

Any other suggestion?

Thanks!

Best regards
