Alpha development box?

[Bob Rogers]

A former employer of mine was about to throw out some old Alphas in
order to avoid paying the Tru64 licensing fees, until I suggested (a)
Linux and/or (b) donating them to Open Source development projects.
They liked both ideas, with the result that one such machine can be made
available; if the money were forthcoming, it could even run Tru64. Is
the Parrot project interested in using such a box? If so, under what
OS? And where/how should such a box be hosted/administered?

Quite possibly, although I personally wouldn't be one of the people actually
involved in getting something a new home.

Which country is the box currently in?

It's in Boston, Massachusetts. It's located in a university research
center (quite a Perl-friendly one, BTW), and the admin team says they
would consider hosting and/or administering the box on their network,
depending on how much access is required.

I am near boston so worst case senario I can take it. But I would
prefer not to if another option is there.
