In answer to the question about Alpha ports: It might be heretical for me to mention it here, but since the question was asked generically of BSD being available for the Alpha rather than FreeBSD, and in the interest of open information (and since I monitor both operating systems), I'll note that the NetBSD port to the DEC Alpha seems to have begun to be checked in to their current CVS tree starting as of a night or two ago. I understand that the kernel work is nearly finished but still a bit shakey, and that lots of userland bugs exist. This is reportedly a full 64 bit clean kernel, with all that implies. (Awaiting rifle shots for having mentioned NetBSD here...) Perry
