by I'm considering the move from an Intel based Linux-farm to an Alpha based
one (since its about time to upgrade the boxe anyhow...)...
I've got a few outstanding concerns about the Alpha builds that I was hoping
to get addressed:
- Is there a Linux that addresses 64-bits for memory and such? Last I heard,
there was a project for such a thing...
- What type of performance can I expect (relative to NT on Alpha) from code
compiled with GCC (or egcs) w/ the new GLIBC and such... etc...? All my
apps are heavily FP oriented so I don't want to use the boxes inefficiently.
- Any news on 21264 support? (not that I can get 'em but it'd be interesting)
- Is 2.1 (2.2) addressing a lot of Alpha issues? ie. is 2.2 going to solve
a lot of these concerns...
- Quality of support for NFS?
Thanks for the help...
