RE: [SLE] (OT) AMD processors and Linux

Cheap, fast, reliable (no known fpu bugs for instance) and not part of the Wintel steamroller. SuperSocket 7 mobo's are also usually cheaper than the Slot1/SlotA boards for similar capabilities. On Tuesday, February 29, 2000 7:36 AM, Joe Hylkema [SMTP:josephhy@wsu.edu] wrote:

On my AMD-K62 300, I receive a segmentation fault, whilst halting my system (i've enabled the auto shutdown option in the kernel). Does anyone know why, and how to overcome this problem? Regards, Jason. On Tue, 29 Feb 2000, Paul Sims wrote:
