     Do you have a URL?  I wonder if they're just bargain shopping (SuSE is
laying off and selling off this quarter)?


     Did it indicate whether they're looking at it for the Alpha or x86
platform servers?  I'd really like to see Compaq


     replace Tru64 (or at least augment it) with Linux of some sort.
