This page was written in order to give hints and help on running Linux on the Multia a.k.a UDB box, from Digital Corp.
There have been a lot of Multias for sale on the net since a little bit of time now, from various places such as Onsale, CPU Micromart, and Star Ship Corp. I got mine from Onsale for 59$. But with no hard disk and no memory.
What's interesting about this box is that you can have a low-end alpha box, to experiment with 64bit Unices without throwing too much money away. I think that if you carefully buy your components and build yourseld a complete nice little alpha box for less than 300$ !
