As a little aside... The latest Beta Kernel - 2.3.51 has optimisation for the superb Athlon. Yes - be careful at this release it is unstable, so you probably won't get any clear idea if the optimisation is worth it.

I had both Win98 and linux already installed and just swapped out the motherboard. Win98 asked for a bunch of drivers, and eventually came on line, while linux booted the first time.

Hi there,
I bought a new pc equiped with an AMD Athlon and I just wanted to know if there's anything I need to take into account when I install Linux. There's a special bootdisk for Athlon systems on the SuSE site, am I correct? I understand that this is necessary only if an older kernel is used. Which kernel is that? I've got SuSE 6.2 (with kernel 2.2.10).

It said "Needs Windows 95 or better". So I installed Linux...
