+Gentoo/Alpha stopped supporting 2.4 kernel and profile in January 2008. |
| 61 |
+Technically you can build a 2.4 Gentoo System (the kernel is in the tree) but |
| 62 |
+you will have to mask all the 2.6 only packages by yourself and you won't have |
| 63 |
+support from developers. |
| 64 |
+</p> |
| 65 |
+ |
| 66 |
+<p> |
| 67 |
+Gentoo/Alpha will review all bug reports about non working 2.6 systems and |
| 68 |
+will try to help as much as we can. |

-<c>hardened-sources</c> and SELinux support is being worked on by Stephen |
| 80 |
-Bennett (<mail link="spb@g.o">spb</mail>). <c>hardened-sources</c> is |
| 81 |
-currently keyworded for alpha. We hope to see an SELinux profile for Alpha in |
| 82 |
-the tree as soon as we feel confident about it. |
| 83 |
+Short answer is no. They were supported some time ago, but we lost the hardware |
| 84 |
+and the maintainer so right now they are not supported. If you are interested |
| 85 |
+and want to continue the initial work, please let us know. |
