--------------Boundary-00=_K9ED456VPRMPJEDD7TH0 Content-Type: Text/Plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi. I just got a pair of AlphaServer 1200's (Dual 533 CPU). I know very little about the Alpha but I chose these machines because they were very inexpensive and because I knew there was a FreeBSD port. When I got the first machine I downloaded the boot floppy and attempted to install. Reading the mailing list posts it doesn't look like it will work and certainly not support SMP. Is this accurate info or is it based on outdated info? I know one thing for certain, I'm not going to pay $7800 CAD per server for a Tru64 license! What are my options as far as FreeBSD-Alpha goes? Is it reasonable to expect the same level of stability as I have seen (hardware aside) from our Intel based FreeBSD boxen? -Michael _________________________________________________________________ http://fastmail.ca/ - Fast Free Web Email for Canadians --------------Boundary-00=_K9ED456VPRMPJEDD7TH0-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
