SuSE.de: SuSE Linux 6.3 for Alpha-AXP

Now waiting is over. SuSE presents its second version of
SuSE Linux for Alpha processors. After all, machines with Alpha
processors are becoming increasingly popular under Linux as well,
due to the high performance of 64-bit technology.

“By making both variations available, SuSE users profit from
this cross-platform use in the installation and administration of a
unified “look & feel” of the SuSE distribution. Because the
Alpha AXP version also works with the SuSE specific administration
tool, YaST (Yet another Setup Tool) and SaX (SuSE advanced X
configuration)….”

“The new KDE 1.1.2 has been improved in many details, and is
present on SuSE Linux 6.3 AXP with over 220 applications. Some big
improvements were made by the KDE mail client (kmail) as well as
the browser functionality of the kfm, amongst other items.”
