Alpha's Going Going Gone

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the going-gently-into-that-dark-night dept.

WildCode writes "Get your Alphas now cause HP is releasing the last of the Alphas (the final one expected to be released in 2004), and there will be no more." I was already under the mistaken impression that Alpha was dead, so this story is rather bittersweet for me. Still, as far as architectures go, Alpha will probably be among my favorites. It was once vastly ahead of its time, if not severely cost-prohibitive.

    I'm sorry, I just can't put my support behind a server that doesn't have stupid rhyming commericials for it.

    Are Alphas "utterly buyable, give 'em a tryable"?

    I think not.

    I dunno, the server on my floor seems to be chugging away nicely with Debian.
