Welcome to Linux/Alpha!

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".
