Based on my experiences with SMP from Red Hat 5.1 to 6.2, which I'm currently running, I can say that the answer to question 4 is a big fat no. I can't remember now, but I think there's an SMP check box during the installation. Or dual processors may be detected automatically during installation. When recompiling the kernel for SMP, just select SMP support. Make sure, however, that the lot numbers on both processors are the same. If this dual processor machine was a manufacturer's configuration, you should be fine. Good luck,
