If I'm running an AMD Anthlon XP processor, which type of distro of Linux do I need? i386, i586 or something else?
i386 or higher will work. Try to get i686 if one is available for the distro you choose. Else get the highest x86 number you can get.
The more specific to your processor the cpu id, the faster the app will run because it's more optimized for you. Or you install Gentoo, which compiles everything specifically for you.
