I will be migrating my YDL machines to FC4 PPC.

1)
I use FC on x86, so using same on PPC makes sense
2)
YDL security updates are slow to appear or missing in many cases
3)
I already compile SRPMS of FC on YDL installs for some apps/features

Over the years I've migrated some machines MkLinux->LinuxPPC->YDL, why 
not FC too ;)

Interesting question, is FC on PPC likely to suffer the same as ia64 
and SPARC?
Or superseded by ppc64?
