It is HP's commercial 64-bit UNIX operating system (based on the Mach kernel - which Mac OS X is also based on)
It is for the Alpha instruction set architecture only - although there was a short lived Intel port.
Broadly speaking, usage is similar to many other *nixes, but the location of various config files, executables etc may be not where you expect.
