He still has <a href=\"http:\/\/alphalinux.org\/wiki\/index.php\/UP1500\">his unit in service and running Linux<\/a>. So why not run <a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/\">FATE<\/a>? Just like <a href=\"http:\/\/ffmpeg.org\/\">FFmpeg<\/a> supports impossibly obscure multimedia formats, why shouldn&#8217;t it also support CPU types of approximately the same prevalence? In both cases, as long as the support overhead is not too arduous, it&#8217;s not a problem.<\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;m saying here, in case I was unclear, is that M\u00e5ns has an Alpha CPU contributing build\/test results to the central <a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/\">FATE database<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In other FATE news, today was a very busy day.
