Which reminds of a discussion with Jon "Maddog" Hall (introduction
superfluous, I guess).  He said Linux the best thing of having Linux on
the Alpha was that is was actually helping Digital helping to sell

with Linux on their Alpha systems but then finding that they're actually
in the need of the advanced capabilities of Digital UNIX.
