I was referring to using SMP... this is a SMP mailing list... and as far as
SMP is concerned distribution doesn't matter.
Slackware 4.0, Redhat 5.2/6 etc will all work with the 2.2.x kernel and
SMP. As far as the distribution is concerned it depends on personal needs
and preferences... I use Slackware and personally don't like Redhat at
all... but that's OK since it's my opinion.
