I'm not a Linux expert, but I have been following with interest it's rapid expansion into mainline personal computers. I understand that there is an NT version available now, and at least the preliminary Linux versions. As a reference, see azstarnet.com for "Welcome to Linux/Alpha!" "This home page provides information on Linux running on computers using Digital Equipment's Alpha processor. The DEC Alpha has been holding the record as the fastest microprocessor on Earth more or less uninterrupted since 1992. If you too think a 500+MHz system is a cool place to run Linux on, read on! " (The enthusiasm is obvious..) There is an Alpha version of NT out now, but I assume it is only 32 bit. Would anyone with knowledge of it's performance care to comment?
