Nah, I view this as a "red Hat" list first, Alpha-specific second... If you
said
you had WinNT as part of the solution, then there might be grounds for
"punishment" ;^)

Well, yes, you could, but after setting it up right (RAM, HD) you would be
"approaching" $299, and the Multia will never be as fast as the K6-300.
For comparison, I assume a $99 Multia, $100 for a new SCSI HD, and
at least $80 - $100 for 64 Meg RAM (plus keyboard/mouse), and that
will have networking, but NO modem...
I suspect there will be a real flurry of interest in these machines as Linux
routers and other such uses, because once you include the internet
access and a modem (if it isn't a WInModem) and keep the price so
low, it is bound to be snapped up by Linux folks...
Hmm, If I can give the internet access to my mother in law, but keep the
machine, maybe I'll give her my P100 and the internet access from the
microworks machine, and I'll keep the K6-300 machine for myself...
Sorry, way, WAY off topic!
