Pentium (or Celeron)- Processor
Windows - Operating System
can be analogous to?

I have heard about SUN. I just wanted to find out what the architecture was called. Like Intel being a common word for "PC" architecture (x-86) I thought of SUN.
But now I know..
And I will keep this in mind
Thankyou!

I use RedHat Linux 9.0 (2.4.20-8). I feel, yum is used in SuSe. Also, for using my up2date do I require a higher bandwidth or is the bandwidth that I obtain in Dial-up internet connection fine? |
