It is the IRIX desktop for linux    called "Indigo Magic Desktop" (what IRIX was called before it was called IRIX   )

looks good, i wonder if it will end up being a CPU/diskspace hog, and if it will come as a KDE/GNOME alternative in major distros...

IRIX on Linux?

well, GNOME's always buggy on my computer, no matter how much i prefer it to KDE (which i do!), but this isn't about GNOME, it's about IMD for Linux, which i wish well and hope takes off. also, if it doesn't hog space and RAM, it'll find one niche, and if it does, well, it will find another niche. ironically, the diskspace/CPU hogs seem to be the more popular ones though.

The OS itself has always been called IRIX as far back as I can remember. I believe this is a recreation of the Indigo Magic desktop environment (that I believe is based on Motif).
