According to the FAQ (http://www.azstarnet.com/~davidm/Linux-Alpha/FAQ.html)
4) WHAT SYSTEM DOES LINUX/ALPHA RUN ON?
Right now, you have the following choices:
* Jensen
* Noname (aka AXPpci33)
* Cabriolet (aka AlphPC64)
* EB*
Does it say whether Linux/Alpha is a 32-bit kernel, as has been widely
reported in the past. For argument's sake, the NetBSD/Alpha kernel is
fully 64-bit, just like Digital Unix (a.k.a. OSF/1).
