	I am also a died in the wool Slackware fan . But I've had
	reasonable success with installing redhat 5.0 on my alpha-
	station200 .  I followed (somewhat) the Redhat Installation
	Guide & the Alpha Addenda ,  My only beef with redhat is its
	/etc/rc.d/init.d/'all those scripts that require other scripts'
	startup directory .

	I've heard tell of another (? Debian | SuSe ?) that is -very-
	slackware like, although it uses the RPM facility to install
	everything .
