The assembler comes with the GNU toolset, it is called as (1), when I first started messing with asssembly I turned towards Alpha assembly, mainly because it didn't drag along alot of compatibilety instructions like the x86 assembly does..
And because I was asked to help develop an embeded controling utility for an alpha based device, where most parts was kept as assembly since it was using a 8bit instruction set in a pseudo 7bit environment, so you had to be sure what you had in your registeres at all times.
On the down side, that made me more sloppy with learning x86 assembly, since I had it like anyone who goes from something like VB to C, with the attitude, But I'm used to do it like this, why can't I just do.....
Since then I've mainly kept to Alpha and Motorola, so for x86 I might not be the right one to turn to....
