RE: Digital Alpha Server 2100 A500MP Server Supported?

[Wade Buchanan <Wade Buchanan wcom com>]

I have looked at the labels on the back of the machine and the only thing it
says is 'Digital 2100 Server A500MP'.  I cannot find any other references to
the model of the machine other than the nameplate on the front of the box
which says it is a ALPHASERVER 2100 5/375.  Is there any other place on this
machine that might tell me if it is a 2100A or is it a safe bet that it is a
2100?

Are there any big gotchas to watch for when installing on this platform?  I
have setup Intel versions of Red Hat and others which seem to go pretty
smooth...  Can I expect the same kind of deal on this box?

Thanks.
