Although I am rather new to Linux, I go back to before the CP/M days in 
computing.  However, I have a question pertaining to the CPU requirement for 
Mandrake V8.1 vs other distributions, Specifically SuSE V7.3.

The systems I run here on Linux are based on the "old" AMD K6-2/300 CPU.  
I've noted that Mandrake V8.1 runs quite a bit slower than SuSE V7.3 on the 
same platforms.  I know Mandrake was optimized for Pentium CPUs, whereas the 
SuSE distribution still specifies a 486DX CPU as its minimum spec processor.

Any comments, and has anyone else seen similar results?

Tnx,
Don
