Simple question
 

i386? x86? i586? SPARC?

Ze combination of ze numbers and ze letters! Zey confuse me!


Want/need to know what architecture IS... why it's important for linux('s programs), the naming systems, etc...:)



Oh ya, and if anyone has a good SuSE 8.2 install tutorial they could point me to, it'd be very helpful (but don't bother writing your own... I plan on looking for one later, but it'd be helpful to be given a link... no time spent googling:D;))

i=intel
i386 intel 386 cpu
i586 = pentium
i686 = pentium pro
It's the cpu arch.

Intel compatable, techinically. AMD works fine :)

thanks, I've been wondering that for a while :)

hmm... anyone know a way to put an .iso image onto a ZIP disk?
