Subject: Re: [newbie] Which Version Should I use?
8.0/i586 most definitely.
8.0/i586 is optimised for i586 (Pentium-class) processors, which you
obviously have (in fact, you have an i686 SMP).
8.0/i486 is optimised for i486 processors.
Corporate Server is designed for corporations to use, and so prizes
stability
above usability. As a result, it is always several steps behind the main
Mandrake distro.
