Welcome to Linux/Alpha!

This site is under construction, but for now, here is a list of ftp sites that may be of interest:

ftp://ftp.cs.helsinki.fi/pub/Software/Linux/Kernel:

Latest Linux kernels.

ftp://ftp.azstarnet.com/pub/linux/axp:

Latest PCI Alpha system specific kernel patches (Noname and Cabriolet in particular). Various other tools and toys (e.g., Emacs-19, ghostview, aboot-x.y, SVGATextMode, libc, Maelstrom, binutils and more). The Linux/Alpha FAQ is also available in a variety of formats in subdirectory docs.

ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha:

User-level build-environment and lots of user-level tools. The first full-blown, end-user-installable Linux/Alpha distribution is available here as well. It can be found in subdirectory BLADE_0.2. This is a self-contained distribution that is based on a modified 1.2 kernel.

ftp://grocne.enc.org/pub/alpha:

A rather complete port of libc and more user-level tools. The library is in subdirectory libc-x.y.zz. Also features, the gcc, g++, libg++ and more. However, this site hasn't been updated in a while, so to make sure you get the latest version, be sure to check the StarNet site first. In particular the latest version of libc is now on that site.

The tools and binaries on this site should work with the latest kernel releases (1.3.3 or newer). If you want to run the bleeding edge releases of the kernel etc., start by installing BLADE-0.2, then download the binaries on this server and install them on top of BLADE (due to changes in the directory-reading interface in the kernel, you won't be able to use utilities such as "ls" with 1.3.x kernels)---you may want to make sure you keep a backup copy of the BLADE binaries in case disaster strikes.
