Hi Ashley. I've heard that the most recent versions of FreeBSD=20 run on multiple processors. I think the limit is 16 processors.=20 Linux also runs on multiprocessors, but the stock kernel that=20 comes with most Linux distros is a uniprocessor kernel. If you=20 want SMP on Linux you'd have to build your own kernel. Same=20 with FreeBSD, AFAIK. --=20 Matthew Graybosch http://www.starbreaker.net "Snafu uber alles."
