I was doing some detective work using the "running Linux" 
book from O'Reilly, and there was a command to check out 
the error messages from the X-Window server, where you 
start X bare and then kill it using control-alt-backspace:

root]# X > /tmp/x.out 2>&1

When you look at x.out, there is this line in it:

Operating System: Linux 2.2.17-8smp i686 [ELF]

Now, I have an ABIT motherboard, a PII 400 MHz processor, 
and that's it. I am running Seawolf Linux 7.1.

What does it mean by putting "smp" after the Linux version 
numbers? Does anyone know? (I understand what the command 
line above itself is doing). Where else can I go to find 
out what is going on (what other command can show what 
version of kernel I am running)?

Thanks in advance,
