Isn't anybody considering Alpha's anymore? I love the Alpha, but it is end-of-lifed and no longer actively supported by most Linux distros. Debian still provides a current port to the Alpha. Note that future development of the Alpha chip was stopped before HP acquired Compaq.
Didn't 10.1 just get ported to Alpha though? Personally if I needed HARDCORE CPU power, I'd go with Quad Xeons and a Gog or two of RAM, or maybe A big BIG 24 Processor Sun machine. I think Linux can run on those. -Allen
