As soon as I get my switchbox, I will be a big tester. But that won't
be until payday :)
Continuing the Mandrake tradition of using modern compilers and
settings, I would suggest trying to get Mandrake going with the Compaq C
compiler (http://www.compaq.com/linux -- then click on Software in the
left-hand column)
This produces MUCH better code for AXP processors, as it is descended
from the Tru64 compiler currently being used on Compaq Tru64 a.k.a.
Digital UNIX a.k.a. OSF/1. :)
Also look at the license and see if Mandrake can actually bundle it up
and distribute it with the operating system. That would be a BIG plus
to the Alpha port.
