	Well, few of us really know what exactly is in the market.
Atleast send us a list of choices you have so that we can tell you if
is supported or not.  Better still read the following

http://www.control-escape.com/lx-hwcompat.html
	or
http://www.redhat.com/support/hardware/intel/61/rh6.1-hcl-i.ld.html

	Linux should run on an Athlon.  I believe 810 boards work
with linux. Zameer had posted some info visit the ilugc mail archives
here:

    shishirb2>   i'd also to know where to get my hands on the latest
    shishirb2> OpenBSD CD and the latest in debian (potato)..

	Wait for potato's stable release.  It is expected on around
Aug. 10th or so.
