If they'd wanted it as a demo. - they could have had the same distribution on my Alpha PWS 433 Debian _do_ have Alpha and Sparc developers and they keep things well up to date. I can, however, sympathise with XFree86 problems. Have fun with Debian and apt-get - the initial install's the worst part :) Andy
