True. But even if there was a problem with 2.2 and the K6 at one point
(and I never heard of it), it didn't last long. The K6 came out in 1997,
the K6-2 in 1998, and 2.4 came out right at the end of 2000, if I recall
correctly.
So 2.2 was the current kernel for most of the time the K6 was current.
The K6 was a fine processor. It's a bit slow by today's standards, but
unless you want to do lots of compiling or CPU-intensive stuff, it
should do you fine (unless you've got one of the SiS support
chipsets...)
