Sure, but for a user (even a developer) who isn't hacking the kernel files for fun, in this terminology 'XXX has SMP support' is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, while 'XXX supports SMP' is useful.

Or 'XXX has experimental SMP support'. --------------------------------------- Westongold Ltd C++/Java Multithread development and libraries +44 1920 444284 info@westongold.com
