Please take a look at the comments from yesterday between Jordan and myself. It is coming. We are working on it. ----Mike -----Original Message----- From: Craig Burgess [mailto:craig-burgess@home.net] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2000 8:34 PM To: Mikhail Teterin Cc: alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: SMP on Alpha? nonauthoritative answers: "No" (not yet) and "it depends." SMP does not work on Alpha/AXP (yet). I'd say it depends on what you want your "production machine" to do whether you would want to use a single-CPU Alpha and FreeBSD. I've been running 4-current without any noticeable problems -- but it's not doing much (Web & firewall/NAT).
