Proccesors, eg, 368DX/40 (old AMD), 486DX2/66 (old Intel), and i586
is Pentium class, which includes other cpu's besides Intel. When you
see RedHat rpm's they usually end with '.i386.rpm'. This means they're
optimized/intended to work on 386 systems or better. Mandrake
is'.i586', optimized/intended for Pentium class or better systems.
Mandrake does release an i486 distro. IIRC, the latest is 7.0
