Re: current status of alpha in squeeze

["A.B." <arne-bombach@foni.net>]

Hello to the "new alpha team"

I want to offer my help with my old Alpha computers.
But I only can make installing and hardware tests (video-cards, memory, 
USB-cards, TV-cards? and other).
Computers: DEC 500au and DEC 433au
I did not find any distribution which could run on my alphas.
Are my computers interesting and/or practical for your purposes or are 
the realy out-dated?
I don't want to let them die and all other alpha-ralated systems.

Regards,
Arne
