Controlling a Stepper motor with L298N board

[Muon neutrino]

Hi guys,
So i just bought a L298N motor driver board and I'm planing to connect it to a stepper motor.
I'm wondering what kind of stepper motor should i use? The one that has 4 wires or 6 wires?
Btw, what's the difference with bipolar and unipolar stepper motor?

I'm planing to control it with an arduino anyway :)

Does this article help to answer some of your questions? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor

I also googled L298N motor drive board application note, and got lots of good hits (including some Arduino application examples):

Hi Berkeman, thanks for you replies.

Those articles really helps. But what I am looking for is some specific example of product of the stepper motor, and would the l298n works fine with both unipolar and bipolar motors?
