Hi guys .....

Does FreeBSD support Multiple Pentium processors yet ?

If it does.....

	1. How do you enable it ?
	2. How stable is it ?
	3. How many processes can be in kernel space concurrently ?
	4. Is there any Real time scheduling / scheduling class ?

The reason I am asking all these questions is that I would rather use
FreeBSD, to which I have grown accustomed and generaly like, than
Solaris x86 (Too pricey for an OS that comes without a compiler) or
UnixWare (which I do not have many kind words for!) or NT (which still
has not proven anything of value when it comes to True Multi-User
opperating system) ...... Hmmmm ..... I must be a BSD Unix biggot
!?!?!?! .... even Linux just does not quite hit the spot !
