Compaq sees Linux as selling Alpha chips

phlebas writes "Cnet news has an article about how "Compaq Computer sees Linux as a way to increase sales of its Alpha microprocessor, and the company is trying to encourage other Linux distributors besides Red Hat to support the chip." They ar also plannig to "soon introduce new pricing geared to encourage Linux users to "step up" from Intel to Alpha chips." Maybe after all i'll be able to get one those in my lifetime " I think it's pretty clear that Linux is the way for Compaq's to really push the Alpha-let's hope they actually do it.
