: Are there any comparisons (or FAQs) that discuss the differences 
: between NetBSD and Linux on a DEC Alpha ?

I sorta wonder why this is on a FreeBSD newsgroup, but ok..

One thing is that Linux has the floppy drives working...
OpenBSD has a better base of support for the alpha as well, it supports 
way more hardware...

Other than the *BSD linux differences, I haven't seen much...
