[olug] Try Gentoo?

[Jim]

I installed it on a extra machine I had here. I am very impressed with 
it. It reminds me of OpenBSD for some reason. A very clean OS.

I think this is the info you are looking for:

jameso at rhino jameso $ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 5

stepping        : 0
cpu MHz         : 300.763
cache size      : 64 KB

coma_bug        : no

jameso at rhino jameso $ grep i586 /etc/make.conf
# otherwise, change to i586, i486 or i386 as appropriate. All modern 
systems
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
