I'm looking into aquiring an alpha and if I'm successful I'd be 
willing to do any tests on that.

There will also be an smp kernel on that cd, how ever, it is a 2.6.3 kernel, and there appear to be a lot of problems with speakup and this kernel, so speakup will not be included in the 2.6 smp kernel.

I don't have a release date for gentoo-2004.1 yet but from what I've been told, it's probably going to be soon, to try and keep on the release schedule from now on. We really hope to have a fully functional x86 livecd, including  a working 2.6 kernel for the next release, but we will see how that ends up.

Currently I don't have the hardware to test any of this, but if I'm lucky, I may have a sparc box and an amd64 box to test with this summer, so we will see how that goes as well. I might also be able to get my hands on a ppc box durring the school year after september to do some testing there to as well.
