Ok, as you may remember I received an AS2100 a short time ago. After much futzing around, I found that everything appears to work except xdm, which may be either misconfigured or just broke (I don't really care which - csh is fine by me). As I plan on trying to sell this heap (I figure that there must be a few left that need parts and I could use the cash), I was wondering what folks thought as to what OS to would be best to load. Here are what I understand my options are: NetBSD alpha, although they don't appear to support this particular box. RedHat 7.1? Debian 3 or just leave OSF/1 3.2c on it. It would be nice to have X running on it though. Suse no longer appears to have alpha ports, and from everything I have read slackware is a beast to get running on alpha. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Grant M.
