What architectures will be supported by The Fedora Project?
Info Kairali - Linux - Fedora ProjectRed Hat will initially focus on the x86 family of architectures. Red Hat may also choose to build Fedora Core for other architectures, and in doing so will focus on architectures in which it has a business interest. This will make it easier to identify and fix bugs; the sooner they are found, the easier it is to isolate the change that caused the bug and therefore the easier it is to fix. Other community members are welcome to participate in building for other architectures.

Related QuestionsWhat architectures are supported?
The Fedora Legacy ProjectObviously, legacy support for outdated distributions will only support the platform that the original distribution supported. This will be i386 for Red Hat Linux 7.3, 8.0 and 9. Red Hat Linux 7.2 was available for i386, ia64 and s390, but we're only able to support i386. Current Fedora Core releases may support other architectures, mainly amd64. We will provide legacy support for all platforms that Fedora Core is available on.
Related QuestionsFAQ/General - CentOS WikiCentOS 4 currently supports x86, x86_64, ia64. ppc (PowerPC) and alpha (DEC Alpha) are released in beta for CentOS 4. s390, s390x, and sparc are being developed, but not yet released for CentOS 4. CentOS is built from the the publically provided AS Enterprise Sources, although all of the above versions are built from the same sources. AS is either a larger subset of packages (than PWS and WS) or has advanced Kernel parameters supporting larger number of processors or memory (as compared to ES).Related Questions

Related QuestionsWhy don't you submit your Redhat rpms into the Fedora project?
Frequently Asked QuestionsThis will probably happen in the future. I started making the rpms for libferris' dependancies well before Fedora started. There are many rpms that I have for the dependancies for libferris and it will take a while to feed them into the mainline Fedora project. The other point to note is that time spent packaging is time not spent coding and I tend to prefer the latter.
