This is a very cool attempt at creating a
Athlon-centric distribution of
Linux, with the hopes of using optimized
Athlon code. The center of the project is
AthlonGCC, or
AthlonPGCC. The entire thing lends itself almost perfectly to
Linux 2.4, which now has processor specification. Sadly, there are currently no complete Athlon distributions of Linux, but there is a large archive of user compiled packages, and a couple
linux companies (
Debian and
Slackware are the two I know of) have promised things for the future. For any real speed nut running AMD chips, AthlonGCC is a must have. Project headquarters is at http://www.athlonlinux.org/.
