Who is actually working on the port, is there a different tree. Am I going to be able to install and boot a FreeBSD alpha? Snapshots? Alpha specific FAQ? We currently use FreeBSD on x86 and are concerned with multiplatform capabilities for our next generation. Thus I am examining the 3 major BSDs to help in choosing our next OS/version. Supposedly beast.freebsd.org is an alpha running FreeBSD, but which version ? If the port is not curently buildable/installable can I get at beast to do an eval?
