SMPng status?
Out of curiosity I was wondering what the SMPng status was? I have heard it's not fully implemented due to KSE/libthr not fully implemented. I was wondering if this was incorrect information or what? The reason i'm asking is there is a Dual P2-450 here that i'm trying to decide what to install on it. Thus SMPng becomes the question do i run -CURRENT or 4.8 or do something more evil?

The SMP threading libraries are one aspect of SMP development work in 5.x, and modulo bugs, optimization, architectural issues and non-i386 platform support they work. The major aspect of SMP development is kernel subsystem locking, which is not yet complete, and will not be for some time. If you're willing to deal with the usual caveats of running -CURRENT, then by all means do so :-) Kris pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
