Hello. I have a couple Dec Alpha PC164s. I have tried MANY about seven (7) different distros about a year ago. I'm using the SRM console. The ONLY distro I could get up and running without kernel panic at best was DEBIAN's distro. It was/is a lot of fun using and learning Debian. My question is, does any one else on this list have a PC164 running anything other than Debian ? If so was it very painful ? I'm not talented enough to rewrite a kernel or the like to get it to work. I tried, Red Hat (around 7.something-ish I think), NetBSD, FreeNSD, Slack, and a couple others I cannot think of at the moment. I really like the apt-get solution. I don't know if this is exclusive to Debian, but IMHO it's nifty.
Thanks for the time and bandwidth. I am anticipating some interesting responses, since I have a couple other boxes, I could try (same PC164 --Panda boxes not sure of console yet.) Thanks in advance. Greg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
