RE: Digital Alpha Server 2100 A500MP Server Supported?

[Wade Buchanan <Wade Buchanan wcom com>]

I popped open the machine to take a look at the card slots and it is the 8
eisa and 3 pci slots board so I am assuming this is a true 2100. Thanks for
the information on the slots Calvin...

How difficult is it to get a 2100 up and running Linux?  Is the installation
pretty smooth or are there some things to know about?  Also will Linux
recognize the multi processors with the vanilla installation or do I need to
apply a special kernel for SMP support?
