    Hi

    Is the machine on the first picture an Alpha workstation? I looked into buying one a few years ago for OpenGenera, but the only one I found was an old 100MHz machine with Windows NT BIOS. Could you give the specs of this machine?

    Hi?

    Is this a DEC workstation? Could you write a little about the specs of the machine, and how well does Genera run on it?

    There is a reasonably functional beta version of Genera around for PCs running LINUX. I use it and have had minimal problems with it. It is quite fast too.

      Dear B Groves,

      Since writing this post, I have switched to that version.

        David Schmidt now has a much better and stable version for linux if you are still into this.

          Dear B Groves,

          The most recent one I have is "snap5", circa 2010.

          If you know of a warez link to a newer one, I invite you to post it here.

          Otherwise I must note that I am not about to pay $8,000 for a closed turdware a second time ! (my original purchase was under the flag of a now-defunct organization, so the subscription is lost, DKS does not answer my mail.)

          My current interest is largely from a reverse-engineering ditch-the-closed-turds-and-preserve-the-ivory-arch-properly POV.

          Yours,
          -Stanislav
