You mean NetBSD?
Anyway, while there may be quite a difference, I don't see how that has any bearing on the topic. All in-tree architectures in Linux are officially supported, and those are the only ones I have counted.
There is for example, the vax Linux port, but that isn't in tree and of course I don't count that as one of the supported architectures.

> Actually, Linux has been ported to more CPU architectures than NetBSD, and is much more flexible in the types of architectures it can run on (for example, systems without MMUs, that NetBSD doesn't run on).
There is quite a difference between having been ported to different architectures and being officially supported on different architectures (every OpenBSD release is built and tested on the 16 architectures the project supports).
