I have looked through quite a bit of documentation and cannot get a clear
answer so i'll ask here.
Is there a port of __FreeBSD__ (_not_ NetBSD) for the alphastations 200
and or 250?  If so how stable, I run FreeBSD on a PC now and am considering
buying an alpha.  I don't want to run 64bit linux and i can't afford OSF/1.

Thanks.
