[K12OSN] i586, i686? how do I tell? (off topic)

["Terrell Prudé, Jr."]

Just cat /proc/cpuinfo, and you'll get what you want.  Example from my 
multimedia thick client:

microman at multimedia:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | more
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 6
model           : 8
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+

cpu MHz         : 2004.545

hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no

BTW, yes, I think AMD rocks.  :-)
