Fedora x86 (Intel/AMD 32 bit)
- IRC: #fedora-x86[?] on freenode.net
- Mailing List: TBD
- Regular IRC meetings: TBD
Introduction
The X86 architecture has been built from the very beginning of Red Hat Linux, but is no longer the primary build target with X86_64 replacing it. This change has happened over the last decade, and the lack of attention by most developers has left the system not as used as before.
This page and targeting is aimed at trying to fix this problem.

History
The x86 architecture itself has a long and storied history which are better outlined in the IA-32 and X86 Wikipedia articles. Because of the fact that the name of the architecture is confusing with ia64 not being ia32 with a 64 bit bus, and similar items, Fedora has either used i386 or x86 to refer to the architecture.
Supported Hardware
Currently only later models in the 'i686' architecture are supported: Pentium II and above.
