“EBIZ Enterprises Inc., … announced today, TheLinuxStore.com
and Alpha Processor, Inc. have joined forces to make available a
cutting edge Alpha Processor based server for Debian Linux
Developers.”
“The server, named “Lully”, is a dual 667 MHz UP2000 machine.
The “Lully” is among the world’s most powerful rack mount servers
available today. Its primary purpose is to ensure Debian Linux
support for the next generation of Alpha Processor based products
on the 21264 EV6 chips.”
“Reaction from Debian Linux Developers has been extremely
positive. “At 16 minutes per compile of the GNU C Library,
‘Lully’ is by far the fastest machine I’ve ever had the
pleasure of using,” said Joel Klecker, Debian GNU LibC Packager. “A
bootstrap compile of the gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz source took just 30
minutes to complete.”
