You won't be able to load a current version of Red Hat Linux on it, but that doesn't mean it's dead. Go to http://www.alphalinux.org/ and do some reading. I believe that SuSe still supports the Alphas. Note, however, that you may be better off getting an Intel system. They're cheap, and unless you've got something like a DS10 that's being freed up, you'll find that that the Intel systems will easily outperform the Alpha for many applications. Alpha Linux will give you grief here and there. Most developers assume that they're running on Intel, and all the packages you find will be need to be recompiled from sources. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
