&nbsp;70-80% of floating point... is that low? How much a Pentium II gives ...?<br />

&nbsp;I know that Linux works under K6 processor because it belongs to the x86 processor family but my point here is that is any conflict I might expect, hardware settings, kernels updates like symetric processing(multi-processor<wbr />s installed). I still I am not sure if I can play with two K6 processors like I can with Pentium.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;And by the way how much MIPS or better how much computing power a K6 300Mhz(MMX) can give to me. Please do compare to a pentium(II, MMX and whatever is it).<br />
&nbsp;<br />
An example say like: &nbsp;&quot;K6 300Mhz(MMX) will give you the same speed in computing instructions just like a Pentium II(MMX) 333Mhz&quot;?? How much? This is the first time I am going to buy a PC with K6 processor...<br />

Can LINUX work under my processor ???

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
