Could someone tell the author that this is not correct? This argument is so old and still wrong -- someone with a deep knowledge on the subject should write down the truth* into the wiki so we can point people to it. CU thl *that is afaik: Fedora is optimized for up to date processors like the Pentium 4 but still compatible with i386 (hence the i386 in the postfix in the rpmname). Compiling for i586 might even be slower than that was fedora does. -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
