You could use the Fedora kernel with a Debian userland, but it's
probably enough if you use the appropriate NIC driver with a Debian
kernel. Or, alternatively, just put (e.g.) e1000 cards in the x300
boxes and use the e1000 driver.

If you want to save time, it's a good idea to use as few different
distributions as possible.

Does anyone know what ever happened to AlphaCore? Last I heard, it had been
accepted into the Fedora project.

Mike Barnes, the guy behind AlphaCore stopped working on it to the
point that he didn't even bother renewing the domain alphacore.info.

Current Alpha/Fedora port stuff is at http://buildsys.zero42.at
maintained by Oliver Falk and Jay Estabrook.

Jay said the ISO on the site is out of date, so he's working on
updating it.

Oliver Falk hangs out in #alpha on Freenode if you've got questions
about Fedora/Alpha.
