And lets be realistic, there are not many Alpha left in this world,There are many Alphas remaining. Many that run Linux. Many more that run Tru64 and OpenVMS. You can still buy shinny new alpha systems.
But what for should anyone buy alphas today? If they need 64-bit, they buy Itanium, which is cheaper... If they need good performance, they buy a four-way-Xeon-system - which _is_ faster than a ES45 for example....
Alpha is going away, but it is not gone yet.
HP is letting Alpha die... They didn't annouce the newest alpha-chip a few months ago (EV78!?)... [ ... ]
or they have service agreements with HP.
Or still some old Compaq service level agreements... :-P But they do not know much about Linux on Alpha... At least here in Austria...... [ ... ]
I do like low volume lists, but the volume is so low at times, I tend to miss most of the messages.
Yes, but now there _is_ traffic... :-P Best, Olive
