Right.
You can use the ISO image at 
http://backup.parisc-linux.org/debian-cd/debian-8.0/alpha/
to initially install Debian 8.

After successful installation, you need to add the debian-ports
repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, so that you will receive
regularly new updates. Add those entries to /etc/apt/sources.list:
  deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/ unstable main
  deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/ unreleased main

Among other systems, I have 3  DEC Alpha PWS and I would like to ask: is there some chance of having a Debian version for Apha newer than Lennie, even if unstable or experimental, maybe as initiative of some of us??

Could somebody with access to an Alpha build environment please checkout the wip-ports branch of https://anonscm.debian.org/git/users/jrtc27-guest/polyml.git <https://anonscm.debian.org/git/users/jrtc27-guest/polyml.git>and see if it builds? A full build log would also be useful.
