Um. The Original Poster didn’t tell us how much memory he had. In my
experience, a K6-2 should be fine for processor power for anything that
isn’t CPU intensive, but is unlikely to have enough memory to run Gnome
or KDE well.
A K6-2 really isn’t that much slower than some of the new Intel Atom
processors found in some of the new light-weight laptops.
Hope this helps,
James.
