The Winchips never really sold that well, and stopped being produced when IDT sold off Centaur. It was a niche processor in 1997. In 2005, I'll be surprised if there are that many of them still working. Mine lost its magic smoke for no reason around ~2002.
If there are any of them still being used out there, I'd be even more surprised if they're running 2.6. Then again, there are probably loonies out there running it on 386/486's. 8-)
Heh. Let me brag about it a little:

Running 2.6 at least since 2.6.0-test11-wli-something, dated Dec 6 2003 according to /boot (may have been running other 2.6-test before, but I dont have them around any longer):
$ ls -al /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-test11
-rw-r----- 1 root root 840607 Dec 6 2003 /boot/vmlinuz- 2.6.0-test11-wli
Not a single hiccup, so far *knock on wood*. Bragging even further, I also have a genuine 80386 DX 33 up and running, although that one is still on 2.0.37, iirc.
Oh, yes, I'm a loonie ;-)
