	Yeah, having a recent AlphaBIOS firmware update helps considerably
when dealing with Alphas... I've had this experience with working on
different chipsets.

	I wasn't impressed with RedHat's alpha distro either, I've honestly
not given SuSE's a chance as my Debian installs have worked without problems
outside of my one personal screw up... Overall the Debian alpha distro has
been really solid...
