It took a lot of digging to figure out that a SMP kernel was available at all for me. (I finally found it by going to the SMP home page, where it mentioned that it was merged into -current) Perhaps, i know this is a contradiction, but a 'stable snapshot'? Something that is grantedly unfinished, and may possibly have bugs, but a release at a point where you feel it's ok for production servers to use if they *need* a feature that it has. Kevin
