Okay, what exactly is a "release candidate"? Is it like a beta or something?

oops, I missed this part
 i586 means that a program is designed for Intel Pentium processers, and compatible ones, like AMD CPUs. |

Linux supports lots of architectures, check out kernel.org for all supported architectures.
As for CPUs used in true Linux workstations, I guess Intel and AMD CPUs are the most popular ones. |
