I 2nd or 3rd VNC, you should also check out rnetwork. It allows a linux box to control a window$ box via micro$ith terminal services. I use it here at work and have had great luck with it.

KDE was slow, I remember the video card not being impressive, so I'm sure X was not accelerated. She wasn't my box, so I don't know how optimised she was either.

My oldest was a "ruggedized" PDP-11/20 used by the US Navy (SSN 688 class subs). Other than that, I have worked on "newer" stuff that we designed for the Military, but mag tape was still a requirement - the ocean can get rough enough that you have to have a backup media for those days you just can't risk a head-crash!

Most any alpha linux distribution should work on that machine. I've seen redhat 7.1 on an alphastation 250, which is a very similar machine. Debian and SuSE should be fine too.

I think Red Hat and Mandrake both provide distributions for Alpha. I'm sure there are others too since Linus used an Alpha as a target during kernel 2.0 development. Robert N.
