Well, you can boot a SMP box and use only one CPU. According to what I've heard about sun4d, linux 2.2.x does not boot if SMP is enabled. I've to admit that I played only a few hours with a sun4d box by myself but the guy who tried is not a newby and as I said he spent a lot of time on this issue. > > Afaik solaris is the only OS out there with sun4d SMP support. > NetBSD? I can't see anything about sun4d on their site Iirc NetBSD does not even boot on sun4d (yes there is at least *ONE* architecture that they do not support). -- Irvin Probst There are 10 types of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.
