Hi there |
| 2 |
I am running Gentoo quite smoothly on a DEC AlphaServer 1000A, which is also |

EV5. In fact, this machine has been serving successfully and reliably as our |
| 4 |
mail(sendmail+clamav+spamassassin+mailscanner+imp)/ftp(proftp)/web(apache) |
| 5 |
server at my local organization. |

All the best, |
