Question Help! Suggestions on what I can I use my 2 unix boxes for?

Once upon a looong time ago I used to work with Unix systems - SGI mainly.

Now I've inherited 2 boxes - an SGI dual processor Octane and an Indigo2. For the past 2 years they've sat waiting for me to do something with them and never getting round to it.

I run a windows network at home so they've had limited use to date.

So what can I use these guys for?

I was thinking web server? Maybe a fileserver? I do a lot of development so this might be useful, but I also run several remotely hosted web sites at the moment. Help!

Also should I stick with IRIX as the OS or should I transfer to Linux on these systems?

Any suggestions gratefully received, except the "well you can take your unix boxes and shove them up your..." type ones!

Cheers guys! Smilie
