Well, when I was running tests installs, It seems to me that Top did not show two processors, and when researching why, I found documentation to the effect that a kernel compile was needed. But, I'm not going back and installing Kubuntu or Mepis just to verify that. Anyway I put it in bugzilla Bug 223561. Go "Me Too" it. NEW INFO: Just for grins, before submitting the bug, I went into my bios and turned off the setting allowing the machine to appear as a dual processor. The keyboard does not duplicate with Single Processor. !! But boy is it Sloooooooooow. <----- not keyboard duplication ;-) -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
