it's a 2.4 kernel of some sort. im certain it would work fine under 2.2 as well. i picked 2.2-compadible hardware such as Matrox G400 video, Soundblaster PCI 128 sound, 3COM 3C905B NIC ..Another known problem area is AGP which i forgot to mention in the other email. If you try to turn on full AGP on some AMD (or maybe even some Intel) systems you may experience problems depending on card/chipset. I don't have AGP enabled(Nvidia defaults to disable AGP on my chipset), and don't see a need for AGP, so i have not had any stability issues. my home system is a 1.3 Athlon with a Tyan motherboard, its solid as a rock under 2.2.19. my motherboard can't support more then 1.3 though, its based on an older chipset. I originally started with a Asus A7A266 but that was a horrid experience. later my friend told me they had recalled some boards due to a defect. i haven't bothered to check mine its still sitting on a shelf unused. be sure to get a good power supply. i overcompensated my Athlon 1.3 at home with a PC Power & Cooling Turbocool 450ATX (~$200). check the AMD website for certified power supplies. good luck! nate
