:) Thanks. Not really, I have to do a lot at my work. :)

Oh, yes. I was hoping to release AC3 at the same time with FC5, but xorg 
package really stopped me. :( I tried to build
latest package from devel tree - it doesn't work well too. :( Good news 
- radeon driver doesn't crash my alpha any more, but
framebuffer driver does. :( I haven't tried simple vga driver yet, but I 
suspect it might not work too. :(

Any way, pre-AC3 is available via yum and I am running it on one of my 
Alphas.

I did take a look at OO about 3 months ago. Well, it is still 32-bits. 
:( Like you said it requires to write some stub methods to work.
After learning a lot of Alpha assembler during C# JIT compiler 
implementation I guess I am ready to look at OO again. :)
