Two machines which I run as games server machines are running Athlon T-Bird
CPUs.  One a 1Ghz T-Bird and was running Red Hat 6.2 for about 6 months,
without any compatibility problems (though it wasn't running the stock RH
2.2 kernel, that was the first thing that was updated).  Now that machine
and a T-Bird 1.2Ghz machine both run Red Hat 7.2 fine with no problems
whatsoever.

I'm yet to install Linux onto my Athlon XP 1600+ at home, but I wouldn't
think there would be any compatibility issues with a recent distribution of
linux on it.
