Alpha station for a crystallography lab

[Alexei Botchkarev]

Hi all: 
I would like to buy an Alpha station for the X-ray crystallography
lab, but I never dealed with this mashines. A computer is supposed to run
O, XPLOR, CCP4 and DENZO. 
I would appreciate any advice for a reasonable hardware configuration 
and an operating system. Can I run the above mentioned programs under 
Linux on Alpha? 
Thanks. 
Alexey
