Sorry, but I've missed the original postings about this bug.
Could somebody point me to the details? Is it serious? Does it
affect 'typical' Linux use? I have a few PCs with AMD K6 chips
but I have not noticed any *bad* behavior. Still, I am just planning
to order a few more machines and I am wondering if they should be
AMD K6-2 or Celeron-A (almost same prices for same MHz).
Any hints would be appreciated,
regards, Michal.
