Kubuntu (or Mepis) never gave me any problem, but (and its a pretty big but) neither of them install an SMP kernel unless you go back thru and recompile.
Ummm isn't that because just like in the new SUSE kernels (10.2 release) that SMP is enabled in the default kernel? That's what I've been told, and on my Kubuntu install, using the default kernel, I appear to have all the SMP functionality enabled. I've never looked into it all that far since it was worked as expected with CPU load nicely distributed over both cores.
Well, when I was running tests installs, It seems to me that Top did not show two processors, and when researching why, I found documentation to the effect that a kernel compile was needed. But, I'm not going back and installing Kubuntu or Mepis just to verify that. Anyway I put it in bugzilla Bug 223561. Go "Me Too" it. NEW INFO: Just for grins, before submitting the bug, I went into my bios and turned off the setting allowing the machine to appear as a dual processor. The keyboard does not duplicate with Single Processor. !! But boy is it Sloooooooooow. <----- not keyboard duplication ;-) -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
