[newbie] 64bit architectures

2004-11-25 Thread Len Lawrence
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
