Don't expect miracles from em86. It makes various Linux/Intel programs
usable on a totally different processor but it is far from beeing a
speed daemon.
If you want to view pdf files on your Alpha than gv with an underlying
current ghostscript (5.xxxx) provides, IMO, a better solution with
a nicer and more capable interface anyway. If your pdf files are
encrypted then read carefuly what README files which come with
ghostcript have to say on the topic and follow instructions there.
Both gv and resonably up-to-date ghostcript (in 'contrib') are available
as alpha rpm's. Alladin ghostcript is not likely to show up in RH
distributions directly due to copyright issues.
