most distributions are 386, or 486 compiled. the Pentium 4 is little more
than the PPro architecutre, which the kernel optimizes just fine for.. the
only distro that comes with all pentium-optimized (pgcc) binaries, is
mandrake, and it shows, i think it's the most unstable distro out there.
Thank You,
