SMP is multiprocessor and secure is a secure version that is usually only used 
for servers that are exposed and expected to be attacked.  Secure is not bad, 
I run my web server on that kernel but it is secure and more difficult to 
work with than the regular kernel, everything is closed by default and you 
have to specifically open things up to get access to it.
