Welcome to Linux/Alpha!

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Linux/Alpha can be found in this FAQ.

Important: The Linux/Alpha mailing list (at vger.rutgers.edu) currently seems to be down. Another mailing list discussing Linux/Alpha is maintained by Red Hat. You may want to join that list until things are back in working order. To subscribe to the Red Hat list, send mail to axp-list-request@redhat.com with subject of "subscribe".

Various other tools and toys (e.g., Emacs-19, ghostview, aboot-x.y, SVGATextMode, libc, Maelstrom, binutils and more). The Linux/Alpha FAQ is also available in a variety of formats in subdirectory docs.
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha:: User-level build-environment and lots of user-level tools. The first full-blown, end-user-installable Linux/Alpha distribution is available here as well.
