For what it is worth, I have put a couple of my alpha hacks on my
web page. I have patches to get ce, glimpse, netshade, and urt to compile
and run on Linux/Alpha. There are a few other apps that I wish would work
on Alpha (namely postgres, but that is being worked on), and it would be
nice if there was a page with information on who had ported what and how.
Though I have found that a suprising number of Linux apps compile and run
"out-of-the-box" on Linux/Alpha.
Anyway, if someone is going to setup a Alpha App port page, they
are welcome to include my patches, with appropriate credits of course. :)
Just my two cents....
