I was just in a meeting with some folks and I verified that an open source
project that wants to use the Intel tools may do so.

Hi,
If i am honest i think there would be significant advantages to just
running the same OS on all the bits of hardware, NetBSD has a much wider
hardware support base, Alpha, pmax and VAX.

If you want to run on a VAX or Alpha, I don't think Linux even is an
option. You'll have to go with some BSD. NetBSD and OpenBSD both have
support, although if we talk VAXen, I think the support is slightly
better in NetBSD.

Open or Net BSD are likely to be you best bets on an Alpha and I can see
advantages to each. As Johnny said NET is likely to be your best bet on a VAX.
An issue with any of these will be limited to the GNU development suite [which
also has pulses and minuses]. One thing I very much wonder is

Get OpenBSD. It's still supported on the alphas and it's genetic UNIX,
it just can't be called like that.

Hello!
Solaris also runs on SPARC. I have it running here on that. And yes
sadly Intel based Solaris is still a performance hog.
But its nice to know someone else is out there. Welcome to the party

Also, no Solaris for the VAX or Alpha at all.

I have ULTRIX 4.0 working on Simh VAX (the 3900 I think, the default

a forum or mailing list where ULTRIX is still discussed?

1) as ultrix as others have said lived well but was replaced so finding people
doing active development is likely going to be tough
