If that's true, then I would expect Tru64 to have better support of 
modern cryptographic ciphers than Linux.  Carrying your analogy further, 
I'd expect to see bleeding edge development on future ciphers on 
(Open)VMS systems.

Yep.

Do the breakers need to come from /my/ breaker panel?  Or do the Alphas 
care if they come from my neighbors house?

...Assuming that there's no sneak current or cross phase issues.  I 
guess I could power them completely from my neighbor's place and just 
link our houses with optical fiber.  :-D  Or wireless!  Seeing as how 
Linux sort of supports wireless, (Open)VMS is bound to have support for it.
