<para>Yes. &os; currently runs on the &intel; x86 and the
AMD64 architectures. The &intel; EM64T, IA-64, &arm;,
&powerpc;, and &sparc64; architectures are also
supported. Upcoming platforms are &mips; and &s390;, join
the &a.mips; for more information about ongoing work on
the &mips; platform. For general discussion on new
architectures, join the &a.platforms;.</para>
<para>Yes. &os; divides support into multiple tiers.
Tier 1 architectures, such as i386 or amd64; are
fully supported. Tiers 2 and 3 are supported on a
if-possible basis. A full explanation of the tier
system is available in the
