I dunno if there are a lot of AMD specific things about the various
distros... Is 3DNOW still around? Huh.


I think the important specs would be the chipsets for both the onboard video
and the onboard audio.  That's where you'll be having possibility for
trouble.   

I run Redhat 6.0 on my K6-2 450 at home.  I don't recommend being that out
of date, though. :) Go for 7.1
