Folks,

No offense to the folks putting their hard work into this project,
but I"m finding FreeBSD/alpha to be pretty buggy.  (4.4 release
as well as 4.5 release, though 4.4. seemed a bit better).
Especially compared to my FreeBSD/intel server.
I'm wondering if there is perhaps a Linux distro for alpha that
is known for stability.  My main use will be to use the alpha
box as an xterm to display stuff running from my FreeBSD/intel
server.

thanks,
-Alan
