Red Hat have done Sparc and Alpha releases, also PPC and some other bits, as well as a "rough cuts" CD of the third party ports to m68k, (yes I ran Red Hat on my MacII), mips and the like. Unlike Debian which does have things like a MacII port, MCA bus, and the like Red Hat can't go around doing ports that are not commercially viable, especially as we then have to provide the customers support.
