Subject: Linux boots on Wildfire^WGS320!

Hi all,

    Well, I'm finally getting around to sending out this announcement.
As can be seen on www.alphanews.net, we've managed to boot Linux on an
AlphaServer GS320.  The only caveats are that one of the CPUs was out of
the system at the time (hence 31 CPUs, not 32), and that we haven't yet
finished the DISCONTIGMEM support for Alpha (hence the 480GB of memory,
instead of the real 256GB).  Needless to say, things like kernel builds
run _really_ fast.  Heck, I could put all of my workstation (several
times over, in fact) into RAM on this thing!  I'm gonna have to put a
graphics head on this and see how Quake runs... ;)
