Yeh, look at the Compaq web site, those OS's don't exist (yes, I know that
they do really exist). I don't run Linux on any of mine, but do have
OpenBSD running 24/7 on one, and have Tru64 and NetBSD on disks for a
second (though never really did anymore than boot either of these disks, as
the system runs OpenVMS).
Considering Compaq's been doing a developer test drive of Alpha's with
FreeBSD on the web...
It's just Linux at Compaq (like IBM) is now one of those supported OS's
they'll sell you... Unlike FreeBSD (for now).
At IBM they'll sell one of three Linux varients on their boxes (and
they use FreeBSD for the Interjets from Whistle).

MS
Windows NT V4.0 SP6 ------->+ OpenVMS V7.2 (obviously the preferable)
+ Tru64 V5.0
+ Linux
sure the last one isn't FreeBSD or NetBSD 8-)
