If you want to use it you'll need to use the -current branch, which often isn't guaranteed to be as stable as -stable. If you're looking for something to run, Linux (2.0.x and 2.1.x), Windows NT, and Sun's Solaris all support SMP computers. Linux: The Microsoft Windows(tm) of the Unix(tm) world. - alex
