As a matter of fact, I think SMP would be a great feature-addition. I wish I knew enough about SMP software design to actually help code for it. The new Pentium Pro [P6] systems when they get their 4 and 8-way SMP worked out will just scream. It would be a shame to have to abandon FreeBSD [on ftp.cdrom.com] or on other machines for an OS like NT, SCO or Unixware. Sure, it may be a few months before people actually start buying enough of those machines to make a difference, but for the next 2-4 years, SMP seems the way things will be. -Jerry.
