All,

I am wondering, what the last revision of Fedora (if any) supported
a DEC Alpha based system? I have an old Alpha with NT4 on it (eew) and
am looking at something to put on this for it to be a good workstation,
and to have a few fun choices. I am looking at Alphalinux as one but I
remember quiet a few distro's used to support this platform. I am also
wondering if anyone out there is doing this and using an alpha still.



Regards,
Seann

I don't know if Fedora has *ever* supported Alpha. Back when it was RedHat, I
think they stopped supporting it just before the community releases were
turned over to the Fedora Project, back several years ago.

To be honest I'd probably go with NetBSD (or FreeBSD if you like)
for this. I have an UltraSPARC 5 that's to underpowered for current
Solaris versions and I've been thinking of doing that with it.


Just an option to keep in mind.

NetBSD, OpenBSD - Gentoo or Debian..

FreeBSD has retired the Alpha port for version 7.0+ - which is why I
ended up retiring my Alphas :-(
