At the moment, I run my home Alpha system on a FreeAXP instance
running under Windows.

It would be nice to switch to running an Alpha emulator under Linux
while switching to the VSI version of Alpha VMS.

What is the current state of play for free Alpha emulators running
under Linux ?

When I last looked at this a number of years ago, the only Linux based
emulator I could find at the time was es40 and that wasn't very usable
at the time.

There's some basic Alpha support in simh, but the last time I looked,
it was missing many of the features that would have made it a viable
full system emulator.

Thanks,

Simon.
