As far as I'm aware, no kernel is stable with even a single 150MHz Ross CPU,
let alone two of them.
It shouldn't make any difference which distro you choose, it's the kernel
which is the problem. Compile the latest 2.4 from kernel.org and see if
that's any better.
But as I say, I don't think these CPUs play nicely with Linux at all, unless
someone knows different?
