I don't think that any of the other *BSD/ALPHA releases would be as
approachable as ours, however - have you ever tried to install
NetBSD/ALPHA, for example? :-) It's definitely an exercise for the
more skilled engineer, and I think that taking the ALPHA market away
from NT, Digital Unix and even to a small extent Linux/ALPHA is going
to take a far more concerted effort than anyone in the *BSD camp
has, IMHO, exerted so far.

Now if you wanted to ask the question of whether or not the FreeBSD
project was capable of exerting that necessary degree effort itself,
well, that would indeed be a very good question. :-)
