Peter Robinson announced the immediate availability for download of the Fedora 22 Beta Server edition for the ARM64 (AArch64), PPC64, and PPC64EL (also known as PowerPC64 and PowerPC64 Little-Endian) hardware architectures.

The Sever edition of Fedora 22 Beta was announced by the hard working people behind the Fedora Project approximately a week ago, on April 21, 2015, and it introduced XFS as the default filesystem, Cockpit updates, and the addition of database server roles.

While initially announced only for the 64-bit and 32-bit platforms, the Fedora 22 Beta Server operating system is now available for the POWER and AArch64 architectures, as well as for the s390 architectures.

"The Fedora 22 Beta release for aarch64 and POWER secondary architectures has arrived, with a preview of the latest free and open source technology under development. Take a peek inside!" says Peter Robinson on behalf of the Fedora Server Team.

You can download the Server edition of Fedora 22 Beta for ARM64 (AArch64) and POWER (PPC/PowerPC) hardware architectures right now via Softpedia, but please note that this is a pre-release version that might contain unresolved issues. Thus, we strongly recommend not to install it on production machines.
