Brew is the internal Red Hat build system.  Koji is the new, open
build system used for Fedora>= 7.  I don't have any links to detailed
descriptions of how the builders are setup, but I believe they're
using Xen instances.  You can probably find more info poking around in
the wiki on in the fedora-infrastructure list archives.

FWIW, here's what koji gives as the current builders:

Hostname                           Arches

I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious,
self-righteous people around me.
