[Info-vax] OT: Linux on IA64 and-or Alpha

   Define "better".

   I know nothing, but at one time I seem to have installed a
Debian on a disk in my rx2600:

debi# uname -a
Linux debi 2.6.32-5-mckinley #1 SMP Mon Oct 3 06:04:14 UTC 2011 ia64 GNU/Linux

debi# cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 \n \l

/dev/sdc2 has gone 1136 days without being checked, check forced.

   Clearly, I don't do much with it, and I don't know what
the current Debian IA64 situation might be.
