Right now.. I have an alpha running 1.4.2.. not the same one you mentioned, but
a 164-LX.  I run 2 complete make-builds every night, under a cross compiler, to
a striped disk.  I also rebuild the cross-compiler and all tools every night.

In addition it serves vast amounts of disk to 8 or so very hungry machines over
a switched 10baseT network, and rips MP3's and serves them via NFS to my PC.

It also controls an exabyte 10e tape robot, and backs up 15 machines via amanda
with gzip -9 compression nightly.

I also do all of my programming on this machine.

The only crashes I have ever had.. were when I was playing with things that are
definately expiramental, such as LFS, other than that, the machine is stable as
a rock.
