Yup, all these different boxes are making me confused. It WAS the CYRIX
cpu that wouldn't run Linux, just like the other person commented.
We have 3 different real Intel Pentium machines, and Linux is working quite
well on them. I've had experience with 2 different Cyrix machines, and both
had very wierd problems running Linux. One was absolutely kaput, it would
barely get the kernel unpacked before it panic'ed, the other would run a little,
but crash when you tried to run any major program like a compile, XFree86
or such.

Sorry for the misinformation, glad to know the AMD does work fine.
