[PLUG] x86 package on Linux

[Mark S. Townsley]

Thanks for the link and it has good info.
Next question then is what is the proper #86 type I should using for any
processor if I need/want to compile with the optimal performance?   I have
several boxes and they are various Intel and AMD processors.  Is there a way
to find out for each one of them?
