Since all Linux distributions use the Linux kernel, the question
is a general one and not a SuSE-specific. For Linux 2.4, two-
way SMP is excellent, and four-way is supposedly the "sweet
spot". I believe (don't quote this) Linux 2.4 scales up to 64
procs, but the performance is abysmal.
So, to answer your question, YES!
