Re: Linux on E10K

I don't know about the E10K - I believe DaveM had it working a while ago to
one extent or another. But I do know that we've got it working on the new GS
series Alphas... :)

P.S. Sorry this is long, but it's just too cool.....and if you don't like it
that much, you can always flood my mailbox with 100 copies of /vmlinux ;)
