The Intel versions downloadable from Red Hat's ftp site will not work, obviously because it's an Alpha processor box.
The last time I checked (via google) there was a site providing ISO images for Red Hat Linux for Alpha, Sparc, etc and the different versions, but from memory the Red Hat version they had on-line was v6.0 I've previously done a Linux install on an Alpha, and I am happy to say it works very well although I re-installed Tru64 Unix as Linux on the Intel platforms was cheaper and faster. One of the major differences between a Linux install on an Intel and Alpha is that with the Alpha you need a special "boot" partition (FAT partition) to boot the environment. The rest is pretty much the same. Googling will get you a host of resources and sites to look all this information up on. Michael. --- "Benjamin J.
