linux on alpha

[Drizzt321]

I have an alpha that I want to put distributed folding on, however I have linux on it and there are no alpha linux binary compiles for distributed folding. there is em86, but that project is long defunct and non-functional. anyway we could get an alpha linux binary?

You get me an Alpha, and I'll get you an Alpha Linux binary :D
Seriously though, the only reason we do not support this OS/CPU combo is that we only have one Alpha available to us and it is running Tru64. And we do all our compilations locally, so we need another Alpha running Linux if we were to build this version. Any old Alpha would do.. Anyone from Compaq out there listening??

if you would like I can set you up with ssh accounts on both alpha and sparc(32-bit sparcstation) systems running linux if you would like to compile the code.
