Hmm... I've been running Linux on a K6 225MHz now for 2 weeks, and I didnt have any problems whatsoever with it.

It's actually a 200MHz overclocked to 225MHz.
Linux aimee 2.0.30 #6 Wed Apr 30 03:23:34 MET DST 1997 i586
And I might add that I did the installation with the standard RedHat 4.1 disks.
