Relationship between Linux versions and CPU

1. i386 is applicable to all 32-bit intel and AMD CPUs and 32-bit CPU via X86 architecture.

Intel platforms include 8086,80286, 80386,80133, Pentium series (1.2.3.4), sai Yang series, and Pentium D series

As well as Centrino P-M, Core Duo and so on.

2. x86_64 is applicable to Intel's 64-bit CPU with X86 architecture, including core 2 Duo, Centrino Core 2 Duo, and Xeon and AMD athlon64/X2, sempron64/X2, and duron64.
(Currently, the mainstream Core 2 dual-core and AMD dual-core are basically 64-bit CPUs, but civilian systems are still 32-bit. CPU supports a 32-bit System)

3. PPC applies to Apple Macintosh G3, G4, G5, PowerBook, and other non-Intel Models

The installation of a DVD includes more software than the installation of a CD, and the installation of a DVD also includes two graphical interfaces (KDE and gnome ).
Download the DVD and CD. The DVD contains more than 95% of the data in the CD.
4. Live CD media, divided into fedora desktop (gnome) and KDE Desktop
You can directly go to the system and then install it. First try it and then decide whether to install the type.
I686 is only a subset of i386, and the supported cpu starts from Pentium 2 (686), which is not supported by the previous model.

I use intel's CPU. Every time a new system is released
Directly find the i386 DVD image and directly burn it.
I386 and x86_64 can be understood as follows. The former is applicable to 32-bit systems,
The latter is applicable to 64-bit systems.
Because there are many software support problems in 64-bit systems, we usually use 32-bit systems.
Both Intel and AMD can be installed using i386 images in X86 architecture.
