I've never used a Tandem (or as/400 or sgi) myself. Just find all of them interesting.

I assume Porting Linux to the pre-MIPS Tandem line would be a challenge. The Proprietary CPU was 'stack based' and very different from x86. Also, I don't know if Tandem ever sold compilers to do the sort of 'low level' system stuff to port another OS..
