- x86.
- \item Supported on ARM, but only on Cortex A8 and beyond.
- Supplies Thumb2 binaries. Neon not supported.
- \item Good solution for mobile multimedia devices. Getting ready
- for ARM servers too.
- \item Training participants - try Ubuntu on your IGEPv2 board:\\

\item \url{http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM}

- \item Expect Fedora to be back in the next years, to meet demand for
- ARM servers.
+ \item Supported on various recent ARM boards (such as Beaglebone
+ Black). Pidora supports Raspberry Pi too.
+ \item Supports QEMU emulated ARM boards too (Versatile Express board)
+ \item Shipping the same version as for desktops!
