No. An ARM is not a 586. It could be one of the debian platforms
whose name starts with 'arm', of which there are several. armel?
armhf? or something like that. I'm told some of the ARMs are supported
by platforms that don't use the entire instruction set, thereby wasting
performance, but at least they do work.
