According to Red Hat, their (64-bit) 4.0 release for the DEC Alpha
supports:
Alpha PC64 (Cabriolet, Aspen Telluride)
AxpPCI33 (Noname)
EB64+ (Aspen Alpine)
EB66 (NekoTech Mach 10
EB66+
Jensen (DEC PC 150, 2000 model 300, Cullean)
...and twenty or so more that it's been tested on.
See http://www.redhat.com/products/rhl-alpha.html
Quote from that page:
Red Hat Linux 4.0 for the Alpha includes all the latest Linux tools and
utilities, including the improved networking and hardware support of the
2.0 kernel. Red Hat Linux for the Alpha includes the full Red Hat
distribution (including sources for all packages), 200 page Red Hat
User's Guide, Alpha-specific installation instructions, and thirty days
of free installation and configuration support via email or fax.
$US 99.95
Not that I'm running on an Alpha. Linux runs _much_ better on a 386/33
than WinDoze does.
