What architectures are supported?

The mainly supported architecture is x86 as this is what my desktop and server both run. Also because this is what LFS is written for and it is 90% of the CPUs out there. The PowerPC development is almost there in terms of first boot but still needs the whole package manager installed and the packages updated for x86 and ppc.
