  1. Why Linux? Wake up! on Ask Slashdot: On Oracle and Linux · · Score: 1

    Compaq has done more for Alpha in the last year then DEC ever did! Compaq even has a page listing which AlphaServer systems are ready to run Linux! Or did you miss the fact that they sent Linus a AlphaServer DS20 for Linux development just a few weeks ago???

    I think my statement was far from being "a bigger dick statement".

    'Nuff said.

    It's on it's way... And there is Tru64 (formerly Digital UNIX), which is the fastest Oracle platform anywhere!

  3. 64 vs 32 bit on Ask Slashdot: On Oracle and Linux · · Score: 1

    It's not yet available for Alpha Linux, but is being worked on. Oracle for Tru64 (formerly Digital UNIX) is the fastest Oracle platform anywhere!

  5. M$ doesn't have a chance, unless... on Microsoft Wants $1M of Larry Ellison · · Score: 1

    M$ doesn't have a chance, unless they ran it on a Compaq AlphaServer 8400 (or GS140). Then they might have a chance, of course Oracle could then just run their database on the same machine...


    JMHO,

  6. Old Alphas on Where Online can you go to buy old SPARC/Alpha Hardware? · · Score: 1

    I got a AXPpci33 MB with 32MB RAM and 256K cache 3 months old for $170 last year. I also got a AS200 4/233 with 32MB RAM and S3 ViRGE/DX for $220 brand new with full original warranty. All of these items I got from computers.ebay.com - BTW I have no association with ebay other than being a happy user.

    HTH,
