Red Hat now compiles their packages optimised for
i686, while keeping compatibility with i386... wonder
how that compares with Mandrake's Pentium
optimisations, especially since now both are using the
same compiler (roughly)?
Perhaps Mandrake can be compiled targeting the i686
compiler while keeping compatibility with the
Pentium... or will that be too biased against K7 and
Crusoe users? A pertinent point since I run one P6,
one K7 and one Crusoe machine...
Speaking of 'download and try', thanks for keeping
everything available for download! One recalls a
certain European Linux company that does not allow
this kind of thing...
