Ewww. I've been using debian on my alpha lately (mostly because it's
an EV4 cpu, and nothing higher than RHL6.2 supports the EV4) and have
had tons and tons of sucess.

YMMV, of course.

If you do plan on using redhat, try 6.2 or 7.0 instead. If memory
serves me right, 7.1 was tweeked out pretty hard for EV5 and higher
CPUs, and I can't remember where yours fits in.

And, FWIW, fatalpha.trilug.org runs Red Hat Linux 6.2, and uptime says:
 11:45pm  up 174 days,  9:34,  7 users,  load average: 0.08, 0.02,
 0.01
