'All' is an okay platform. 'Sun' would probably be better
as 'Solaris', but okay. 'Alpha' is not a platform but
a processor architecture. You can run both Tru64 as
well as Linux on Alpha. 'i386' is arguably the worse. A windows user wants to download a 'windows' binary, not a 'i386' binary. You'll lose windows users that way.
ia64 is also a processor platform. You can run Linux on
it, but they're working on Windows as well.
PowerPC is again a processor platform. I have personally used Linux on PowerPC.
A much better list would be something like this:
All
Solaris
Tru64 (if you really need this)
Win32
WinIA64 (if you really need this at all, don't know the common spelling of this)
OS X
