Hi,

I am working in solaris 7 on intel platform. Many vendors offer unix on intel platorm for free or for learning purpose (non-commercial usage) including freebsd,solaris,sco. You can also download solaris 8 for free from sun website. To be in one liner, every vendor in unix is offering the OS on intel platform. As Neo pointed out except IRIX (now they are going to port it for intel platorm also soon ) , every other vendor has unix for intel platform.

As for as your hardware goes, i hope a bare minimum would be sufficient to learn . But it would be great if you have pc with NIC , modem, multimedia kit, application software for unix, so that you can gain knowledge by installing, configuring and maintaining the peripherals . A small network environment with two or more pc's will be great to learn things for networking .

Hope this helps

cpu_family

cpu_family(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					       cpu_family(3alleg4)

NAME

       cpu_family - Contains the CPU type. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       extern int cpu_family;

DESCRIPTION

       Contains the Intel type, where applicable. Allegro defines the following CPU family types:

	  CPU_FAMILY_UNKNOWN  - The type of processor is unknown
	  CPU_FAMILY_I386     - The processor is an Intel-compatible 386
	  CPU_FAMILY_I486     - The processor is an Intel-compatible 486
	  CPU_FAMILY_I586     - The processor is a Pentium or equivalent
	  CPU_FAMILY_I686     - The processor is a Pentium Pro, II, III
				or equivalent
	  CPU_FAMILY_ITANIUM  - The processor is an Itanium processor
	  CPU_FAMILY_POWERPC  - The processor is a PowerPC processor
	  CPU_FAMILY_EXTENDED - The processor type needs to be read
				from the cpu_model

       You can read this variable after you have called check_cpu() (which is automatically called by allegro_init()).
