[rescue] DEC Alphastation 255 & OS options

[Chris Hedemark]

I got two of these wee beasties tonight.  266MHz, 64MB RAM, 9GB  HDD.  
It is pouring rain now so they are still out in the car.  :-(   One of 
them works 100% the other has some hardware issues so may be a parts 
box or may be easily fixed, unsure at this time.

Having done more *BSD & Linux than I care to talk about right now, I'd 
like to maybe explore some other options.  Are there any other free 
OS's that do right by this hardware?  These are my first Alphas so I'm 
not terribly familiar with what works best on them yet.  I checked out 
http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/noncommercial-unix/ and unfortunately 
they want enthusiasts to hand over $99 for Tru64.  :-/
