This morning, on the SCO media teleconference which I participated in[1], SCO's president (McBride) said "If all [misappropriated Unix source code] was removed, Linux would have no enterprise use." Their "enterprise" definitions mainly cover multi-processor. For example, they mentioned scaling to 32 processors. Does anyone use FreeBSD or NetBSD with many (over four) processors? Anyone use NetBSD or FreeBSD with 32 processors? (NetBSD's official release provides multi-processor support on some architectures.) Jeremy C.
