Just saw the news about you disabling hyper-threading by default on Intel CPUs 
for security reasons, which I agree with.  It would be nice to be able to do 
this on systems that don't have a toggle for it in the BIOS, as it increases 
single-threaded performance.  So just wondering when your latest distro will be 
coming out with this change, as I see your current version came out in April?  
I would like to create a Linux live DVD/flash drive that I could boot to toggle 
hyper-threading off on Intel systems running Windows, or to create a dual-boot 
situation for those who want to use Linux part-time.  It could also be useful 
for updating processor microcode, which can't be done under Windows.  Thanks,

Dan
