It's just so *cute* in that little box, though. <grin> How many of us now have Alphas? I bought 2 multia's last month one of which has NT on it and one has Linux.

The NT box is going to have NetBSD put on it instead soon which might a reasonable porting platform. -- Paul Richards. Originative Solutions Ltd.
