It does help if you can come up with a set of the actual DEC CD's though,
as a lot of the stuff in the Hobbyist licenses aren't on the Hobbyist CD's.
I managed to get a set for the Alpha (the VAX Hobbyist CD has everything I
needed).
Now the question is, do you have all those systems clustered?
BTW, nice set of VAXen, make the VAX side of my cluster look downright
pathetic!

Agreed, VAXen should be running VMS :^)
