Although RedSleeve is currently the only RHEL clone with a release, there are two others groups working on one.
Centos: https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/arm-dev Yor Linux http://www.yorlinux.org/ http://mirror.yorlinux.org/pub/linux/yor/7testing/armv7/iso/ The CentOS release is slowly coming along, but is still working through package issues. It is more of a side project for the main CentOS developers, and as such goes through bursts of productivity as the developers have free time. But, when it is done, it will have the CentOS developers and infrastructure behind it, which may make it quite solid. The Yor Linux release is pretty much done, but the main (only) developer decided to not fully release it since he feels it wouldn't be wise to do that just before RHEL 7.2 is released. Development for the armv7 arch of Yor Linux is equal to it's other arches (i386 and x86_64). A downside is that Yor Linux as a project is still unmature and has a very weak infrastructure (website, distribution, maillists) The RedSleeve project is pretty impressive. They made a RHEL6 clone on the Rasberry Pi. So it works on armv5. For them to build RHEL 7 on armv7 was pretty easy compared to that. They don't have the numbers or infrastructure of CentOS, but they do have enough distribution channels to get their packages everywhere. They have also been around for several years, and looks like they will continue to be around for a while.
