Do the RedHat kerneles compiled for "athlon" also work on the Duron? If
not, the 686 kernels should work? I have a crappy connection here at
work, and only want to download a kernel that works, and I'm curious if
they would offer advantages over the boring 386 kernel. ~,^
Thanks!

Athlon and Duron are the same instruction set.

they offer some speed enhancements. If you want to be fast,
either download linus's or alan's kernel from kernel.org,
and compile them by yourself.
