One thing that can be slightly confusing is that there is an architecture named alpha, and a quality estimate called alpha. So when the configure script asks something like:
Kernel/User network link driver(ALPHA) (CONFIG_NETLINK) [N/y/?]
Your not really sure if it means that its of ALPHA quality or only runs on the ALPHA. Im not sure if this is enough of a problem to fix, but I though I would point it out.
