I have tried Linux, on both PC and Alpha.  Did not quite jell in the
alpha.
I might have a twisted mind so that might be the problem. Just did not
like the way it worked.  Close to BSD, but...just...not quite right.
I do hate windows and intel, altho I am forced to use them, so...that
might be 
a bias on my part!

The only thing that seems to be missing from NetBSD is PPPOE for DSL
usage, but
there is this fine lurker who put one together, and now that I have my
alphas
straightened out - I hosed up the disks - I will try to get it going on 
alpha!!
