What about if I want it on Alpha?  :)

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Fips will make you sorry if you don't do it
right.  You have to run scandisk, then defrag, then scandisk in order for
it to work good.  Then, even doing that, fips can ruin your life...  :)

Or just join an lug and then ask Redhat and they give you  the manual and
the 4 disc set for free.

The best help there is is an lug.  People in those will usually drive over
to your house or tell you to bring your box to their house and they help
you...  Hunam experience is worth more than paper...  ;)
