No. I'm totally ignorant with respect to Linux, so I did not use the box until I installed FreeBSD on it. Linux for Alpha seems to be more fully supported than FreeBSD/alpha, so you might be better off to keep with that. As usual, if you choose FreeBSD, you'll have to trade off some of the wealth of support for the CVS tree, the ports collection and the feel of BSD. You'll know what this is worth to you. > BTW, how about the PC-CARD drivers? X-drivers for the TGA? I don't know. My AXPpci as a Matrox Millenium and no PC-CARD slots. -Hans To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
