The reason I mentioned the DS10 is because it's a desktop form factor. I've heard of too many people struggling with Alphas with an EV4/233 class processor. The ES40, of course, is a nice system. I've got one at work running VMS. > HP say the Alpha is dead. Instead, they are promoting the Itanic, > a chip with no installed base to speak of, and a chip that no one > wants. DEC marketing sucked. It's too bad, since the Alpha really is/was a nice architecture. I've been using them since they first came out. -- 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
