There are lots of differences, and you can get SMP versions of both sets of kernels. There's about six to choose from for different CPUs with SMP variants. The enterprise kernels include extra patches for hardware and network protocols, lots of fixes, security updates, etc., etc. - Jeff -- GVADEC 2004: Kristiansand, Norway http://2004.guadec.org/ "And if you think this fucking little tub of gold popcorn is going to remotely make up for everything we've suffered, you're sadly fucking mistaken!" - Gollum -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
