Nima,
Although your comments are off topic for this list, there is no reason to unload
some linux zealoutry on you ;)
The Athlon should run Linux fine. It doesn't have any optimizations from a kernel
standpoint, but that'll come in time.
My personal preference is for Redhat 6.0, not 6.1 (the GUI installer is lame for
old timers).
If you get an athlon, you're going to be paying for floating point performance,
and not neccessarily everyday speed. You can save yourself a tremendous amount of
money by purchasing a Celeron 550, that'll whoop a p3 550, sans coppermine.
