Whats the difference between cobbler.x86_64 and cobbler.noarch ?

 

Name   : cobbler

Arch   : noarch

Version: 1.6.2

Release: 1.el5

Size   : 938 k

Repo   : epel

Summary: Boot server configurator

Description:

 

Cobbler is a network install server.  Cobbler

supports PXE, virtualized installs, and

reinstalling existing Linux machines.  The last two

modes use a helper tool, 'koan', that

integrates with cobbler.  Cobbler's advanced features

include importing distributions from DVDs and rsync

mirrors, kickstart templating, integrated yum

mirroring, and built-in DHCP/DNS/power Management.  Cobbler has

a Python and XMLRPC API for integration with other

applications.  There is also a web interface.
