<p>This page contains information about porting FreeBSD to HP/Compaq Alpha
systems. Discussion of the Alpha port takes place on the <a
href="http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-alpha">freebsd-alpha</a>
mailing list.</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. FreeBSD/alpha support will continue in maintenance
mode for future FreeBSD 6.x releases.</p>
