Whatever email client you’re using, it made a *mess* of that table in
plain text!

You don’t want ppc. It won’t work on your system.

Either i386 or x86_64 will work well for you. x86_64 (64 bit) will be
slightly faster (normally, although it’s not noticeable), and will be
able to use more than 3 GB of RAM in one program. (I notice you say
you’ve got 8 GB – lucky person!)

i386 may be easier to get working with some non-Fedora software, if that
matters to you.

I’ve been on x86_64 since 2005.

Hope this helps,

James.
