        Besides, it always seems that the "linux rulez!" camp is *always* having
"problems" - It goes to the "free or cheap" mentality... Not much different
than the "pee-cee kiddie gamers overclock it `til it smokes" group.

        Me: I'll stick to Tru64 Unix on one of my two 533 mHz Alpha's.

        In any case, thanks for the heads-up on the power supply size; although I
always start out with a 300 watt unit anyway.

        Cheers!
