Subject: [9fans] Installing Plan9 on a DEC Alpha Workstation
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 12:22:05 -0500	[thread overview]

Hi,

I'm new to plan 9 but am interested in getting it running on an Alpha
600a workstation that currently runs Redhat 6. I was wondering where I
should look to get started, and if this will be feasible. I've checked
out the website and docs but still have a few questions:

* It seems that the live cd has only x86 binaries. Is there a version
for the Alpha architecture?
* Are there any known hardware issues with the Alpha port?

Thanks!
