“This article is the second “Running Linux on an Athlon”
articles, (you can find the first one HERE, and the “Athlon 600
Review” HERE) – it is meant to show you the difference between
Mandrake 6.1 (and RedHat 6.0) on the same hardware.”

My second experiment in running Mandrake Linux on the
Athlon was extremely positive; unlike my previous installation I
had NO problems with drivers – Linux is rapidly evolving and
appears to be an excellent operating system choice for the
Athlon.
