I run Linux on an AMD K6 (3D?) 400 MHz processor, can't imagine that it's much different on the K6/2. If you would like to see it work live and risk-free on your machine, there are a couple of free distributions that will boot and run off of a CD - yes, it's slow (accessing info on a CD is MUCH slower than a hard drive) but it will give you an idea of how it will work. I suggest Knoppix for this, but I know that SuSE also makes one, possibly others.
If you can't burn the CD yourself, there are many online sites (205lan is one) that will do it for about $5, including shipping. What do you have to loose?
