<h1>Debian GNU/Linux on Alpha – Status</h1>
<p>The Alpha port, first officially released with Debian 2.1
<q>slink</q>, is now archived: the last release with official support
for it was Debian 5.0 <q>lenny</q>.
</p>
<h2>Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 <q>lenny</q></h2>
<p>This is the last Debian release which includes the Alpha port.</p>
<h2>Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 <q>etch</q></h2>
<p>This release had support for Alpha, but only
those machines which can use SRM/aboot to boot can be installed with the
new installer.</p>
<h2>Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 <q>sarge</q></h2>
<p>This release had full support for Alpha.</p>
<h2>Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 <q>woody</q></h2>
<p>This release had solid support for Alpha and is the last one to support
machines soly using milo (i.e. not SRM).</p>
<h2>Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 <q>potato</q></h2>
<p>Potato has much more software available and supports
more types of Alphas than slink did.</p>
<h2>Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 <q>slink</q></h2>
<p>The Alpha port was initially released with this release.</p>
<h1>Hardware support</h1>
<p>Quite a lot of hardware is now supported on Linux/Alpha. Unfortunately,
the exact combination of machine, hardware and kernel version is
non-trivial, so if you don't find your combo in
<a href="http://alphalinux.org/ALOHcl/">this list on alphalinux.org</a>,
and researching the
<a href="links#lists">list archives for Debian and Red Hat</a>-AXP-Lists
neither yields a result, then
<a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/">subscribe</a> to the
Debian-Alpha list and ask.
Usually someone has tried already and can provide useful
information.</p>
