They did 6.2 (5.2??) for sparc and then abandoned it.  They have Alpha 
and possibly PPC.  I think they once had an m68k version and that's 
gone too.

Debian seems to support the most architectures.

SuSE: i386, PPC, Sparc, and alpha (I think).  The Sparc version at 
least is 1 rev behind but it is getting updates.

Mandrake: i586, PPC.  7.2 supported Sparc and i486 but that's as far as 
it went.  Note that Mandrake doesn't support i386.
