I have a dual boot PC (Win/Linux) based on an AMD K6-2 350MHz with (at present) Mandrake 7.1, and got no problems at all with hardware detection and recognition. All is working perfectly since the beginning of this year. The supplied hardware is: AMD K6-2 350 on an Asus P5-B motherboard, 128MB RAM 2HD IDE (15GB Fujitsu and 8GB Quantum) ultra-wide SCSI interface (iWill) with Plextor CD (40x) and CD-RW (4220), sound card (don't remember the model), PowerColor AGP graphic card (GeForce 256-based). The only problem I experienced was on the windows side with a couple of games, but I can't say that it's caused by AMD. Could be also the motherboard or the sound card. Hope this helps Alberto Vecchiato
