If that's the case, then if people are reading what has been said 
clearly, they'd know there is no "Alpha source code".  There is 
"source code".  What you build it on is up to you.  Fedora Core 
has one set of source code used to build all architectures 
simultaneously, as mentioned previously.

So the 'best' source to use, is "the source", since there is only 
one, and it is not architecture specific. ;o)
