Have you ever tried a B&O remote? It's IR-based and works even if you point it in the direct opposite direction of the TV/stereo! The (only) problem with IR-based remotes is that they usually are cheap crap.
I think the poster meant: Mandrake is optimized for i686 but only using the i586 instruction set, while RedHat is optimized for i686 but only using the i486 instruction set.
