Recycling my chroot idea from before, how about encouraging people to
install Alpha versions in a chroot? You could use localfs to graft your
real /home in if you wanted. A bit of grub trickery would even let you
boot right into the chroot, with the alpha kernel, when you had enough
free time to give it a go.
