I haven't tried DECstation Linux myself, but they've got a URL at
http://decstation.unix-ag.org/.

There is also a high quality Fortran from DEC for our engineers, and of course
the whole C and LISP programming environments for CS students and other
software developers, plus a set of powerful text manipulation utilities like
