Re: [SuSE Linux] When will SusE make a Alpha distribution
A good distribution is RedHat. It has all the RedHat intel packages ported to RedHat Alpha. The Alpha workstation aren't really that more supperior for ISP,s then Intel cpu's. Because the IO is still based upon 33MHz and 100Mhz Pci slots. But for a lot of callculation work and specially floating points. The Alpha is supperior to any of the other CPU's. You might think about letting your Alpha be a search engine, or a heavy duty News server. (Some of the Intel variants can't cope with cleaning old news). That is a time consuming procedure based upon pure IO and CPU power. When you purchase a desktop/workstation Alpha, be sure you have at least the 21164 Mainboard. Goodluck and ALPHA'S ARE GREAT SPECIALLY WITH a 64BIT FREE OS!!!!!!!!!! ----------

Now that I've read this I'm wondering what to use for some of my ISP stuff. I have some newly aquired Alpha's, so I'll have to continue to look myself. Any suggestions?

Well, there are more than a few of us out here with machines ready when/if SuSE decides to go for it. So, SuSE, when will it be? . . .That's too long!
