Well, I've asked some time ago on how to do this (I'm the owner of escher):
http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2002/debian-alpha-200208/msg00145.html
As the machine is idling most of the time I'd like to do one of the
following:
a) install one/more chroots on it so that anyone can use them
b) take it back to my home to work on debian-installer for Alpha. If
there'd be a problem with Alpha again (like in the time faure and
lully were dead) I could put it back into the net in a couple of
days (I've got a car to transfer it to my university)
Personally, I don't know what is needed more right now, maybe you all
could help me decide :)

P.S.: We had a powerdown today (broken coffee-machine...), so the
uptime stopped at 117 days... and we won't have any coffee in
the office for quite a while :-((
