A bit OT this; however....

Is Mandrake correct about Linux being the first OS to support 64bit
architectures?  I can remember VMS running on 64bit DEC Alpha machines
at ROE (the Royal Observatory Edinburgh) back in the early 1990s.  VMS
on a 200 MHz machine, and from 1993 DEC OSF/1 UNIX.  Later in the
decade we had 600 MHz Alphas when the fastest PC was a 32bit 200Mhz
Pentium Pro.  They produced bulky code but they were fast man, for
their day.  Fairly sure that both RedHat and Mandrake supported the
Alpha processor.
