Could have had the answer in less time than it took to post your
question to the newsgroup.

Free clue - look in /proc/cpuinfo

Another clue:

[compton ~]$ grep linux big.8.newsgroup.list.04.15.06 | cut -f1 | column
comp.os.linux.advocacy comp.os.linux.misc
comp.os.linux.alpha comp.os.linux.networking
comp.os.linux.announce comp.os.linux.portable
comp.os.linux.answers comp.os.linux.powerpc
comp.os.linux.development.apps comp.os.linux.security
comp.os.linux.development.system comp.os.linux.setup
comp.os.linux.embedded comp.os.linux.x
comp.os.linux.hardware comp.os.linux.xbox
comp.os.linux.m68k
[compton ~]$ grep linux.hardware big.8.newsgroup.list.04.15.06
comp.os.linux.hardware Hardware compatibility with the Linux operating system.
[compton ~]$
