Power64 (not so much) and ARM (more so) are going to be rich for the pickings for Linux IaaS and virt projects. It'll take a while, but I'm comfortable betting that the reduced space, power, electricity & heat of ARM will help it make inroads into servers fast. That said, I also think the same could be said of Bay Trail Atom systems now that they support virt extensions, run 64 bit, and appear to have overcome some of the heat issues earlier generations had. So don't forget Atom either. > So Fedora should have a way of building images - and that way should > also be easily consumable by others. (e.g. Koji is probably not the > best answer).
