To Pasi and the Cent OS and also to the Alpha Core guys, Sergei and all -

I am just pleased to get any OS upgrade for my Alpha.  Do you guys ever
sleep? I figure I'll be able to use my XP1000 another 4 years, even if
you all quit tomorrow.  If you stay with it ... well!

I'm running AC 1.0 on a 667 XP, and it is as snappy and fast as Fedora
4.0 on my XP2000 Athlon PC. In fact it is maybe a little faster. 

If I had any suggestions it would be to put together a distro that was
up to date WRT its compilers and libraries, but was otherwise lean and
light.

Thaks to all!
