My computer shop has a Digital 2100 Alpha Server (specs to follow) that is sitting around doing nothing. A nice project for me would be to find use for this server. I don't know much about the Alpha technology, but do you have any ideas on what canbe done with this server? Redhat Linux or NT4.0?

Specs: Digital 2100 Alpha Server; (Model 4/200); cdrom, floppy; (OS=NT4.0); 326,656KB RAM; 994MB HD; 9 RAID CPU slots and 2.9GB BigDisk2_E Drive.

Well, your Alpha is a little old but still viable. Run you favorite flavor of Linux for the Alpha chip. NT on Alpha is a joke. I would also recommend DEC/UNIX True/64 for an Alpha. You'll notice the difference over NT.
