Hi Ashley. I've heard that the most recent versions of FreeBSD=20
run on multiple processors. I think the limit is 16 processors.=20
Linux also runs on multiprocessors, but the stock kernel that=20
comes with most Linux distros is a uniprocessor kernel. If you=20
want SMP on Linux you'd have to build your own kernel. Same=20
with FreeBSD, AFAIK.
