Right now I am just trying to help an alpha-linux friend across the
world to get kde1 running on his alpha.  This ia a problem for new
Debian users since kde2 has not been released nor ported to alpha yet.

As it turns out, I had a Debian 2.1 (slink) alpha CD under my nose and
e-mailed the package to him.  We'll see how far he gets.
