I haven't had any problems with my Nx586 (Pf110), using kernels compiled for the 386. There was an experimental patch that turns out not to have been correct, but using standard Linux kernel 2.0.17 source works just fine.
I'm not saying the Nx586 is the best option, or the best for you, or the best for the money, or whatever, just that it runs Linux satisfactorily.
