debian on my athlon?
I just got a new laptop for x-mas that runs on an AMD Athlon XP-M processor. It's a new processor designed specifically to minimize energy use for laptops. I was hoping to run Debian GNU/Linux on my laptop, but the official website indicates that the latest release is not built for the Athlon architecture. Nonetheless, there are other webpages claiming to have "athlon builders." I'm a newbie, and it's not clear to me what an "Athlon Builder" really is. Does this mean that if I download the Athlon Builder I can run Debian on my system or is this processor simply not supported by Debian? Finally, if Athlon processors aren't supported by Debian, does anyone know another GNU/Linux OS that I could run on my system. Thanks a bunch,
Forest
