Tru64 is UNIX.  ;o)  Dunno if Ultrix was ever made available for 
Alpha or not.  Personally I'd recommend switching from Tru64 to 
Linux rather than UNIX, but that's just me.  ;o)

As stated about 30 times in the last week on this mailing list, 
and as part of this thread - Fedora Core is not available for 
Fedora Core.  The last OS release from Red Hat which supported 
Alpha, was Red Hat Linux 7.2.

Alphacore is the unofficial port of Fedora Core to Alpha by Mike 
Barnes.  You're probably best off starting out with that, or dual 
booting between RHL 7.2 and Alphacore perhaps.

I definitely recommend downloading the list archives and reading 
every message for the last month or so.  ;o)
