It depends on what you think, I think it is alternitive.. but someone else might think of it as like, heavy metal or rock. (don't know if heavy metal and alternitive are the same) So it really depends on your opinion.
"Alternative" is a pretty vague term anymore, not unlike "college radio", "new wave", "progressive" and other such terms have been for virtually the same thing over the last few decades.
Linkin's pretty much a hybrid, like many nowadays - nice crossover from metal, rap, grunge (old school), and pop.

Whoa, I just finally opened up the Linkin Park album that has been lying under by bed for over a year, and I completly changed my mind. They are incredible! Ive downloaded half of Meteora and now I think I'm becoming obsessed...

glad to hear you change your mind on them. they are one of my favorite bands. they are great to thrash to, you can understand what they say, and, amazingly, they hold their own in the 'heavy' music category WITHOUT swearing once! that is my main reason for liking them, they get the point across without resorting to lame curses.
check out the one step closer video. its one of my favorites.
