If you're willing to use a free distro like Debian or Slackware you
should be okay with a 31-bit system but the latest releases of RHEL
and SLES are 64-bit only.  I assume both Red Hat and Novell will still
let you buy copies of RHEL 4 and SLES 9, but you'll only get a couple
of years of support out of them.

The goal here is to get away from the Alpha, because there's not much
development work going on for it any more. Linux for the mainframe doesn't
have that problem. (Is that true enough of the 31-bit versions?) Under no
circumstances will I run an x86 or x86_64 platform natively as a server on
the net.
