Hello Joseph,

	I've had some success with 2.1.130 on my AlphaStation 200, but I
warn you there are some problems.  The biggest is that I've had frequent
Kernel panics (every few days) which appear to be network related.  I've
also had a few random kernel deadlocks. :(
	Otherwise, it runs pretty well.  You will need to get several
upgrade packages from rawhide.redhat.com to support the new 2.1 kernel
semantics.

Good luck,
-bp
