There are several Debian Alpha ISO images available:

	http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-alpha
	https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/5.0.10/alpha/iso-cd
	https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/2020-08-19/
        https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/Alpha
        https://www.debian.org/ports/alpha/
        https://www.debian.org/releases/woody/alpha

And Gentoo Linux:

There is also NetBSD:

And OpenBSD:

And FreeBSD:

We ran DEC OSF/1 until the power supplies on our several Alpha systems
died, but it had an annual license fee, and the O/S shutdown when the
license expired.
