I'm not sure it Slackware has a Alpha version. Redhat and > Caldera are the furthest for FreeBSD, IMHO. I tried RedHat 5.1 on my AS200 4/233 -- it was less than stable, to say the least... If they're going to make an Alpha distribution, they should at least clean up the 32/64 bit problems so you don't get an "Unaligned access error" when you try to do a "df"... Of course, I get the same message on the Alpha 3000/500s machines at work when running DSM under DEC UNIX..... ho, hum. That's what they get from just re-compiling VAX code... mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
