Installing Linux on Cray J916

It is possible; but as far as support goes, there may not be any. To get it to 'run' on the Cray, you would need to obtain the source codes for all the application/software you want to use. You would then need to compile it on the Cray. There shouldbe detailed info on how to do all this on the web, unfortunatly, I do not have that info. Hope this points you in the right direction.

I have to ask, why would you want to go and do a thing like that?

I can't imagine that linux on a cray would be stable enough, since not that many people have J916 hardware, and those that do, I am sure would be running UNICOS.

I think you areout of luck - unless someone has a small port linux to J916 project running somewhere, but support would be limited to goodwill in that case.

I don't think porting it yourself sounds like a viable option either.
