While this thread seems to drift into all kinds of silliness let's return to the real question. Except for a longer build time there's no real reason to not support SMP for pentium-class cpus. Please fill a wishlist bug against the kernel package so this is archived, but I can't guarantee this will still happen for sarge. > > Thanks. > > -- > Steaphan Greene <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > GPG public key: http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~sgreene/gpg.key.txt ---end quoted text---
