Hi, I am new to Free BSD ( and Linux) and have just setup a rather old Proliant 5000 as a test machine. It has Quad PII processors and I would like to make use of them. The Install CDs only come with the 'Standard' kernel. Looking through the handbook implies that support for multiple processors in 5.3 was removed due to problems. I have seen references to a 5.3 SMP kernal though, is it possible to get hold of this, or do I have to wait for 5.4 to be released? If so when is this likely to be released. Sorry if this is a simple question. Thanks Rob
