Bah. I've stayed out of this until now. Can we please stop this?
It's getting very silly. RedHat doesn't support SMP as an option,
they do however provide a nice, stable, SMP *ready* system if you
choose to use it that way. At this time SMP on RedHat is a *VALUE
ADDED SERVICE* which should be obtained from a RedHat VAR like
VAResearch, PenguinComputing, or any of a slew of others (perhaps
Robert G. Brown Inc.). If Dell is selling servers with two
processors and not adding the *ADDED SERVICE* of enabling SMP how
can you blame RedHat?
RedHat is a wonderful server and workstation operating system. I
don't see Microsoft out there saying "We don't support SMP under
Windows 98, but hey -- here's the source if you want to try and
make it work."
Can we end this now?
