<iddt> mint, I wouldn't say no to an Alpha. It's a pretty simple mechanism.
SGI sent us an Indigo 2 so we did an SGI port. Send us an Alpha and..

<iddt> mint, best way to make this happen is to get together with some friends
and mail a group letter to DEC, maybe post stuff, and tell 'em we need to
see a Linux/Alpha port. They'll get the message, contact us, and we'll
take it from there.
<iddt> mint, that's at id in a different city. abuse is written by crack.
> iddt: How about id and Quake? =)
<iddt> mint, yeah i've already done an alpha port. it runs rather well.
> iddt: Sure? OSF1 I asume?
<iddt> yes

Summary:
Quake : OSF1 port. Will hopefully run under Linux/Alpha
Abuse: Linux/x86 beta out today.
If we want an Linux/alpha port we need to persuade dec to support
them..
So dec guys, what do you think?
Even hackers needs to play sometimes.. ;)
