</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> If I remember well, the long i586/i686 debate on cooker has been
</I>>><i> terminated with 2 facts : there are no massive improvements on software
</I>>><i> X (I don't remember which one) and we have to keep compatibility with
</I>>><i> some netbooks (OEM with mandriva).
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> If mageia doesn't target these netbooks and if you can show real
</I>>><i> improvement, I think this can be discussed.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Have a nice day
</I>>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Well, since we are *not*  that linked to Mandriva, we could avoid this
</I>><i> problem by producing a netbook edition if needed. Why restricting our work
</I>><i> to i586/x86-64?
</I>
One more edition => more work; also compiling packages with different
specific flags for one particular edition is much more work, I am
thinking about package repositories/updates too.... (just my humble
non-dev POV :)).
><i>
</I>><i> For some programs, there is a significant boost in using sse/sse2 (for
</I>><i> instance the mlt library, povray rendering, etc).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I've enabled them explicitly in mandriva some time ago in the x86-64 build,
</I>><i> and it should be the default there. If some arch do not comply to the "sse2"
</I>><i> demand, then we can discuss this on a "specific basis, but not limit
</I>><i> everyone on this...
