The Jensens were some of the first Alpha machines produced by Digital and were based around a 150MHz Alpha chip. They are nothing like the PCs of today and they were also some of the first to have Linux ported to them. WARNING - the Jensens can be a bit of a challenge for installing Linux....Good Luck. Below are some links related to setting up Linux on the Jensen. The Digital site also contains other files for the Jensen (firmware etc..).
