Yes, no problem. My NoName is currently living with Marcel Moolenaar
for X-build testing etc. Running -current FreeBSD. Works great, albeit
slowly (21066 CPUs are just not fast).
If your NoName is the one with the broken PSU: any normal AT-style PSU
will work.
Since you like tuning 'iprobe' for the Alpha will be a nice tool.
