''"If you have a machine with 4 processors..."''
Ask Intel what the differences between a uni-processor, a dual-processor
and a multi-processor machine are... ;-) (These are separate Xeon series;
AMD has Athlon/Phenom vs. Opteron. The Sage cluster machines boxen, geom,
mod, redhawk and sage are all 4-processor machines, each processor a
hexacore.)
(The cheap desktop and notebook ones are all single-processor multi-core
machines, and I think the notion of cores is meanwhile quite common to
everyone.)

If you happen to edit `README.txt` again, perhaps also mention sage-
release, which is IMHO better suited for build errors. The lengthy
standard error message of `sage-spkg` already mentions sage-devel (and
currently only that).
