PPC64 seems to be a hard platform to support it would seem. Red Hat has support for PPC-64 but CentOS was never able to complete theres into a booting format. The Fedora PPC-64 project does have people working on it but they are usually several releases behind. To answer people's questions I think it was Itanium RHEL dropped for 6. It was close for PPC because the long term costs are just exorbitant compared so say X86_64+GPU. > Jeremy Enos > -- Stephen J Smoogen.
