Did CentOS get an alpha yet How does this one look? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160115818814 will it do the job or not?
Well.. depends on the job, etc you want on it. A 667 Mhz alpha is the equiv speed of a 166 to 300 Mhz Pentium box (if I remember the building speeds on the old alphas we had). It would probably take 6-8 weeks to compile the entire distro on it... but we would probably want only a ServerCD version.. as trying to fix things like OpenOffice etc would just not be fun without a bucket of cash.. and then it would just be a bucket of cash :) What are the customers needs for hardware, software, services?
