To whom it may, but most probably does not, concern: At the FreeBSD home page, when one clicks the link for i386 under Platforms one is taken to the page at ... http://www.freebsd.org/smp/index.html ... which is most probably entirely appropriate AFAIK. However, while not perusing the article but simply scanning through quickly, it seems to me that the TLA (Three Letter Acronym - like you needed that) SMP is never expanded. IMHO, it should be (I'd prefer the term "must" over "should", but since it isn't it clearly mustn't). Being somewhat of an old fart, I find that TLAs often have multiple expansions in my brain and having at least one, early, prominent expansion in an article allows me to ascertain whether I want to keep reading or am just wasting my time attempting to fit the given TLA into the swirling melange of TLA dopplegangers careening about inside my skull. -- Walter M.
