The built-in ethernet and SCSI work fine, as do the serial ports; there
are no drivers for mouse and keyboard, which makes X rather difficult;
in theory the newport X server in XFree should work on the Indy if we
had mouse/keyboard driver and if the Indy had a Newport graphics adapter.
Most of the media features (audio, IndyCam, Vino video, Cosmo compression,
etc) are not supported right now.
IOW, it'd make a nice (if slow) server box, but probably not a great desk-
top box.
