For RHEL there is the following useful page

  https://www.redhat.com/rhel/compare/


For Fedora, the release notes for each release generally have a hardware
requirements section right at the start

Fedora 13:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Release_Notes/index.html#sect-Release_Notes-Hardware_Requirements

Fedora 14:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Welcome_to_Fedora_14.html#sect-Release_Notes-Hardware_Overview

Fedora 15:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/15/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Welcome_to_Fedora_15.html#sect-Release_Notes-Hardware_Overview
