Hello!
I am thinking of plunking down a lot of cash and building a
killer Alpha system for myself. I am looking pretty seriously at getting
a EB64+ and running Linux on it. BUT, I have a few questions:
* I know you can't boot of the IDE controller on some DEC MBs. Does that
hold true for the EB64, which has an IDE controller on it?
* What are any EB64 specific problems?
* Is BLADE a good choice, or should I go with Red Hat?
* Am I stuck using a SCSI CD-ROM or can I use one off the IDE controller?
* Would this setup be viable for a WWW server for a client of mine
(on a seperate box)

I thank you all in advance for any info you can give me. This is the same

Thanks again!
