Here is a copy of an e-mail I sent to Alcides on the subject. I am
posting it here for the benefit of anyone else who might want this
information. Additions and corrections are _encouraged_.
----------------------
The "official" (?) internal Linux home page is at:
http://linux.reo.dec.com/
It is maintained by Dave Rusling and also contains useful information.
Dave is one of the main Linux-on-Alpha people within Digital, so he may have
better pointers to information if you can't find what you need on his
page.
Another source for information is the following URL:
http://www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux/
This purports to be the Linux-on-Alpha homepage. It appears to have a decent
amount of information on Linux-on-Alpha.
If you have never dealt with Linux (on Intel or elsewhere) before, you might
want to purchase a Red Hat for Alpha distribution CD. You can, of
course, pull from the Internet, but building from a CD may make life simpler
for you. Also, the Official Red Hat distribution might have the necessary
information to get you started on the installation.
I have not had the pleasure of working with Linux on Alpha yet -- all I have
is a 486 at home which serves me well.
[Of course, if anyone out there has an Alpha sitting around doing
nothing, I'd be more than willing to take it off your hands! 8^) -- RCP]
I hope this helps.
