I remember from one of the more recent WLUGs that some information about Linux on Alpha was presented. I was at the Mass Academy for Math & Science yesterday, and they have several DEC Alpha 400 4/233 machines and they asked me if there was a Linux that might run on them. Not being a DEC kind of guy, I couldn't answer...

Anyone care to offer some information regarding this?

We had an Alphastation 533mhz running redhat err, 7.1, iirc. 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. Suse, redhat, slack(i think), debian, *BSD all have alpha-centric distros. - (hey all, I just joined the ML) James KB1FJQ

Thanks in advance!
