If you're not reading it, the debian-alpha list (debian-alpha at lists.debian.org) is a must read. Jay Estabrook at DEC/CED/Compaq/qapmoC/HP can help you navigate through the various versions of MILO, if that becomes confusing. Also, don't be frustrated if you find compiling kernels doesn't go exactly as you expect; there are a few differences from x86. 'make boot' instead of 'make bzImage' is the biggest, but there's a little bit of massaging to do with 2.4.x kernels. And the shared memory settings are rarely right. But, Alpha linux is a thing of beauty -- I get years of uptime on the server!
