think you're right. about 1 year ago alpha was in a similiar state. This
changed about 6 months later - but this is a long time :-)
At the moment there are also a few other debian-ports in this state.
e.g. hurd-i386 (when will this one be stable?? ;-))) )
The only problem with hurd is that the kernel is not-yet released and debian
is the only distribution. (But it seems that there are some people which are
working hard on this distribution.)
The problem I had with the netwinder was that there was _nothing_ on the
netwinder.* newsgroups for a long time (2-3 months??) [except some postings
to netwinder.test]
