Hay there I'm in Albany (as in the south of Perth) and, jeez, I have a similar Quest. The new DEC alpha chips look like they're built like a spaceship and I dont see my future plans out growing them in a hurry. The use of linux would the way to go as far as an OS goes freeing up capital for other costs (phone lines being the major one). Anyways, please inform me if possible, as to how you go and I'll be sure to pass on anything I come up with. You should trying getting hardware down here. You get used to blank stares very quick and the old "baffle them with bullsh#t" trick some (well one in particular) suppliers do when they have no idea what you're talking about.
