I can second that motion: I did a timed recompile of 2.1.34 on my
system prior to swapping a P133 for a K6-PR2-200 and then did a make
clean and remade the exact same kernel afterwards. The verdict: the
P133 took 24 minutes to make the kernel and the K6 took 12 minutes.

You make the call, :)

PS: No oopses, problems, incompatibilities, or other problems have been
noted with Linux with the K6. There was one I noted with the K6 and
OS/2, but it was minor. If interested in the details, e-mail me.
