Hi all & Christopher, who wrote: <snip> <blockquote TYPE=CITE>> Seems that AMD processors, specifically the K6/2 series, seem to be very

popular amongst the Linux community in general and the SuSE community in particular. Anybody know why this is? Not a complaint, only a question.

AMD K6-2 Socket-7 CPUs are generally cheaper in comparison to Intel Slot-1 CPUs. Since Intel abandoned the Socket-7 market, the easiest upgrade path for many people has been a Super Socket-7 motherboard and a K6-2 CPU. Finding an AT Slot -1/Celeron motherboard is nearly impossible, but you can usually pick several different kinds of AT Socket-7 motherboards. I currently have a K6-233 for my linux server, and K6-2 450 for my Windows box. No problems, whatsoever. Intel should probably only be considered if you need the superior floating point performance for graphics and/or massive calculations, or if you happen to have a quad motherboard. :)</blockquote> <snip> Nah, forget about ChipZilla, their FPU is NOT as good as the Athlon/K7, especially on a 133 bus.

Philipp, check back on the post line "Plain text vs HTML text...." & you will note, if you read it, that I have already done so. Keep up the good work with the distro. Bobby "Open the pod bay doors, HAL." -- Dave Bowman, 2001 Philipp Thomas wrote:

Bobby,

please change your Netscape configuration. Mails in HTML format are frowned upon here and in most other mailinglists too. The reason is that many textmode mail readers like mutt can't display mails in HTML. So do yourself a favor and change that.

The only difference between a bug and a feature is you can turn a feature off.
