FreeBSD/alpha Project

This page contains information about porting FreeBSD to HP/Compaq Alpha systems. Discussion of the Alpha port takes place on the freebsd-alpha mailing list.

Status

As of FreeBSD 7.0, support for the Alpha platform has been removed. The development of new Alpha systems has been discontinued by the hardware vendor; this combined with the widespread deployment of more mainstream 64-bit platforms, such as the AMD64 and Intel EM64T architectures, has resulted in significantly reduced user and developer community interest. FreeBSD/alpha support will continue in maintenance mode for future FreeBSD 6.x releases.
