If it's TurboChannel, there's a chance you can get one of the BSDs to go 
on it. A very few models will run Linux but not the graphics cards (ie 
serial console only). If it's not TurboChannel then AFAIK it should be 
happy.

I have a 64MB TurboChannel DEC Alpha. The 64MB is made of 64 (I kid you 
not) funny SIMMs that look like the 168-pin SIMMs but aren't (and don't 
fit). The whole lot is arranged in a streamlined fashion so that the air 
from five (5) large fans arrayed across oen side of the case can blow 
freely across them.

Amazing stuff, but not (yet) very useful to me.
