Re: [newbie] Mandrake for Alpha processor
-as much as i hate to admit it linux is getting to stand on its own -but for your alpha server i would really recommend either -freeBSD or netBSD "unix type OS" either one is really stable -and can't go wrong.. Well the machine will be a test machine at first. if mandrake proves to be unstable on it, I will switch to one of those. thanks -- Carl Lafferty | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.netins.net/showcase/carl -The-UQWK-guy-| [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.fclib.org Need your daily fix of B5??

[newbie] Mandrake for Alpha processor
I soon will have back in my possession an Alpha server 800/400 with 64meg and 6gig of space. This USED to be an NT (phewy) server that I would like to get back into use as a more useful linux server where I work. what I would like to know is if anyone has any experience in installing on this system. I tried to install northern linux from hard-data on this beast and it was a dismal failure from the get-go. What kind of problems am I going to run into and more importantly will someone here have some answers?? I understand from trying this before that this particular alpha is kind of an oddball of alphas.. comments?? -- "It's nice to be important but it is more important to be nice." -Ziggy
