<p>This page contains information about porting FreeBSD to HP/Compaq Alpha
systems.</p>
<h3>Status</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>FreeBSD/alpha mailing list</h3>
<p>Because of the dropped support for the Alpha plattform the mailing list
<em>freebsd-alpha</em> has been closed. Although it is no
longer possible to send messages to this mailing list, the archives can
still be <a
href="http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists">searched</a>
or <a
href="http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/freebsd-alpha.html">browsed</a>.</p>
