Linux and symmetrical multiprocessing
Brad Block
Has anyone seen or heard anything that would hint that Linux will be able
to take advantage of SMP (symmetrical multiproccesing) in future kernel
releases? Or, has anyone seen such a patch, driver, etc, for Linux or
another similair OS (BSD...)? Or, would anyone like to try to help me
write a driver to take advantage of SMP motherboards and the new
specially adapted Pentiums that are easily multiprocessed?
- Thanks!

SMP and I have an entire computer society who'll happily do the rest if they
get to keep the board.

Ah ha! Just as I always suspected, "Alan Cox" is a codename for the entire
computer society!
Now if we can just figure out the organization which lurks behind the
nom-de-compute "Eric Youngdale".

I need to get a life. Perhaps I should say that we need to get a
life :-).

Speaking from personal experience, that would be terrible! Since
I got a life, I've noticed release dates slipping by months, a limited
motivation to fix non-critical bugs...

Well, I will be in Heidelberg. Not being a student means that I
cannot take off for weeks at a time like some people do :-).

Didn't impress me.
I'll be in Heidelberg, too.
