I already have FreeBSD on a PPII200 and all is well there. The question I have is this....how are the ports on the alpha distro, specifically, I am interested in Netscape, WP8. How well do these compile? And maby StarOffice 4.0 also. Are there any special cavieats(sp) I should be aware of when compiling ports on an alpha?
