Of course /. is stupid enough to think that a DECstation is Alpha based...
Wonder how many people will go out and grab DECstations only to find out
the just got a MIPS based system.

Whoops! Looks like my DECStation 3000 has magically transformed itself into
a MIPS machine!
I belive you were thinking of the earlier 2100/3100/5000 machines. Though
that doesn't change the fact that I don't recall Linux running on
TurboChannel based Alphas. NetBSD on the other hand...
