Disclaimers: I work for IBM, I used to work for DEC and I own stock in both! I think the Alpha's a dynamite chip and I'd love to run FreeBSD and FreeVMS on it. (I'd settle for FreeBSD and OpenVMS if I could only afford the latter... -- what I'd love is FreeBSD, OpenVMS, Digital Unix and WinNT and all on the same hardware. Benchmarking bliss!) I wish DEC was more open on the stuff (the way they were in the PDP11 days...) I wish IBM would support a FreeBSD port -- since they killed OS/2 on the PowerPC and need a viable low end (I mean price -- not quality) OS on it.
