I have an asus motherboard with an amd k6-200 processor, I have run
several different distributions including, slackware, redhat, yggdrasil,
debian, and unifix, on this machine and I have expierenced no problems
whatsoever (regarding the motherboard and chip anyway ;)), I have yet to
run suse on this machine but by next week I will be able to say that suse
has been amongst the many to grace these drives. in my search for the
"perfect" linux distribution (without writing one myself) I have found
slackware to be my preference thus far, lets hope that suse can change
that :)

btw, I dont forsee any problems with suse on the k6-2 chipset
