See > http://www.freebsd.org/~wosch/freebsd-alpha/ I hate to be the one saying this, but now, given alpha's questionable future, based on Compaq's and DEC's decision to kill any progress in favor of elite Intel's chips, do people here still generally think there is much point in continuing this port? I would personally love to see it happen, and i'm sure there will still be a lot of alpha hardware around for quite some time, but will there be any future without further development of the hardware? Compaq will continue working on alpha? Right. Please don't take this as 'you are all wasting your time doing useless stuff', i admire everyone's work here, i merely would like to hear some opinions from people who know this better. Thank you for your time. -- Yura Socolov <yura@binary.net> FP: A7192ABD96E15F5 19AB21E60C34109 -- Systems Administrator, Binary Net http://www.binary.net/ -- -- "How many sysadmins does it take to manage a Zero Administration network?" -- -- a.s.r
