From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did you use an archlinux32 i486 iso?
@nichtburningturtle nah, amd64 official arch linux
Didn't know there were 64bit pentium 2 cpus.
I can't find anything to anything to support their assertion that a E5300 is a "Pentium 2", but the chip is from 2008, so it's not relevant to your situation. Maybe they meant it was a Pentium from the Core2Duo time, but that's still not a "Pentium 2".
My assumption was also that they meant Core2Duo, or "2M cache"
