Being that it's Friday....
(note that this output isn't snipped; kernel 2.0.36 doesn't grab the CPU frequency apparently!):

I happen to know it's a K6-2 500.

I have a few K6-2 300 systems here that would be ideal for a few uses if I could get something a little more modern than the i586 C4 build running on them... for that matter, perhaps I need the i586 C4 build on them.... They are Agilent ATMProbes that had a custom dual OC12 card complex, with the K6-2 board, which is not PC form-factor compliant, acting as a controller for the specialized atm cell capture/analysis complex.

For that matter, I'm looking for a distribution I can put on DiskOnChip and run on some embedded PC104 5x86/133 systems I have..... :-)
