I've been running Mandrake 7.1 on a K6-2/500 since about a week after
the .iso's were posted.  The only issue I have with it is that it
insists that the CPU is an i586, while my Cyrix M2/300 properly
registers as an i686.
I'm assuming i686 is supposed to mean Pentium/MMX equivalent as opposed
to Pentium/NoMMX.
Other than that, things were fine here once I got the cards+ file fixed
to configure XF86.
