Hallo !
>From: Mike Stanczyk <stanczyk@pcisys.net>
>1) Where do most of you go for srpm's and alpha specific rpms?
If your are in Europe I recommend 
ftp://ftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/
or
http://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/public/pub/Mirrors/


>2) How do you tell if a given rpm is for alpha or intel?  (an rpm command?)
It either says
*.alpha.rpm         (compiled, ready to run)
or
*.srpm

but that is for RedHat, don't know how other distributions handle it
though
