> Hope people don't mind but I'd like to mention an event I'm organising

> DEC, Compaq and HP kit, both historic and modern, but, for example, I'll
> be demonstrating an HP dual Itanium-2 based workstation running Debian
> 5.04 (which considering the box is a few years old it does very nicely).
> I'll also be bringing along a DEC 1000A Alpha server which has an eight
> canister drive array built in and may see how many operating system
> variants can be installed (I think there are at least six out there). If
> you've never tried OpenVMS I'd also recommend coming along and having a
> play - it's a nice juxtaposition to the Unix philosophy and well worth a
> look - there will also be a programming competition, talks, some
> seriously old kit such as PDP/8s, 11s, etc. to ponder over.

> More details on the website: http://declegacy.org.uk
> All proceeds going to the National Museum of Computing.

> Cheers, Mark.
