I'd be more than happy to work with any FreeBSD version should run on your dual box, but won't use the 2nd CPU. you need to be using 3.0-current to enable the SMP kernel. it doesn't matter how you get, there, ie updating from 2.2 or installing from a 3.0-SNAP, although the SNAP process would be easier. for details see: http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
