What OS should I run? Linux, FreeBSD or Tru64?
The AlphaStation is almost a decade old. But a quick testing over
night with NTP shows a respectable clock drift below 2ppm.
The goal is to set the machine up as a public reachable time
server. In due time with a local GPS refclock.
I am mostly a Linux guy, but there is no PPSkit for Linux/alpha.
FreeBSD/alpha might be better as suggested by
http://phk.freebsd.dk/pubs/timecounter.pdf
Is FreeBSD/alpha as good as FreeBSD/x86? What about Tru64?
Any suggestions?
