Hi  Sean:
	I'm using a 350 mhz AMD K6 for more than two years with different
flavors of Linux including Red Hat, Suse 6.1 & 7.0 (current) and Mandrake. 
Linux seems to work OK as the AMD is a good processor.  I'm running a dual-boot
machine with Windoze 98 on the other side.  Everything seems to work OK.  Hope
this helps.
Mike
