    I HIGHLY recommend duron/thunderbird, KT133, PC133, UDMA machines;
    they work very well with modern (2.4) kernels. K6-2 machines are
    not anywhere close to the same performance, and even low-end Durons
    embarass FSB100-overclocked Celeron machines quite neatly.
    a Duron/600 makes a great development workstation;
    I haven't seen a reason to pay extra for a thunderbird.
