Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I noticed that there is no longer a directory on the master FreeBSD server for the Alpha port. Did the Alpha port get discontinued? I would be interested in running it on a machine to play with it (get rid of that hideous Windoze NT).

I really think it comes down to analogies like this, until a specific feature is singled out for discussion. I have a vague impression that Linux spends a lot of time "in the shop" -- lots of tweaking. The BSD machines just sit here, and run. -------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
