Yes. Though an ALPHA port of FreeBSD is definitely wanted so that they can run on *all* of DEC's server hardware. :) [And DEC actually makes some very nice x86 PC hardware]. Anyone interested in consulting on an ALPHA port? Chris D. is sort of interested, but he'd prefer to work on just the generic bits of the ALPHA port and NOT get involved in re-doing all the things in FreeBSD that he had to do in NetBSD - he just can't contemplate doing all that over. So it'd be nice if we could maybe get a couple of people involved - one or two to play ALPHA portmeisters on the FreeBSD side and maybe some of Chris's time as a consultant or something. And I already asked the NetBSD core group but there were no takers. :) Jordan
