RH (RHEL & Fedora) currently build i386 packages with the optimizations set for Pentium4. This gets packages that run at optimal speed on a P4 unless they make use of instructions only available on later processors. Most packages do not use any of these newer instructions but a few do, mostly the kernel, glibc and openssl. And whaddya know, there are i686 packages for all three of those on the ia32/i386 install media. This is a non issue that someone brings up every month or so. -- John M. http://www.beau.org/~jmorris This post is 100% M$Free!
