Michael D. Viron banged on their keyboard and produced the following arrangement of letters: - >Is there such a thing as a "Linux Mandrake 8.1 i586 edition"? - - Anguo, - - By default, Mandrake's distributions are built for i586--the 'i586 edition' - would be extraneous. - - Michael I guess you meant to write: "By default, Mandrake's distributions are built for i586; the 'i686 edition' would be extraneous." Since Bill helped me to acertain that my Duron CPU is a i686, and since I am running the "default" Mandrake 8.0 version for i586, (and since 8.1 would allow me to print chinese, which is not possible with 8.0), I guess I should be looking forward to upgrade to the Mandrake 8.1 i686 edition. But what's the difference? Does this mean that my current distro doesn't use the full capacity of my cpu? Would the system run faster/better with the i686 edition? thanks Anguo
