[PLUG] x86 package on Linux

Hi:

I often notice that Linux packages are labeled (and maybe compiled as)
i386, i586 or i686.
They are all x86 ELF format binaries but is there any difference between
these 3 code names?
I cannot quite tell if there is any difference but it is often a curiosity
of mine.

Thanks


Mark
