Hi guys...
the boss just bought a IBM PC server model 720
which can have as many as 6 pentium 200 CPU's in it...
my question is, I suppose,
how stable is the SMP FreeBSD
and will it work on this model?


It seems such a shame to put Windows NT on this beast...
It is PC based architecture but I dont know too much about 
SMP

I would definately prefer to use FreeBSD on this machine,
but if this is not possible, I might check into the Linux SMP
port too... (anyone know anything about this????)

Thanks!
