Mandrake PPC is for PowerPC's (Mac's) while i586 is for "Pentium" like architectures.

Yep.. dont get confused
 
As above said, the PPC is for power pcs and the i586 is for Pentium PCS. Note that when "i586, i486, and i386" is indicated, they all are pentiums. Just newer/older versions. So if you have a pentium i486 and the installation cd mentions i586, no worries.

tarek is almost right
 
i386 and i486 are pre-pentium Intel chips. i586 is the first pentium.:rolleyes:
