Does it support the Linux SMP Kernel (Multi-processor systems)?

Yes. Please note however, if you are using the Radeon graphics chipset, certain Linux-distro / motherboard combinations have known issues with multiple Radeon graphics cards using the 2.6 SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) Linux Kernel. If you are using SMP with the Radeon chipset and encounter problems, we recommend switching to a non SMP kernel. This is a bug with the Radeon driver and is not specific to Userful’s software. Note: Intel P4 Hyper-threaded systems also use the SMP kernel and the Novell/SuSE Linux will install the SMP kernel by default if a Hyper-threaded P4 processor is detected. In this case you must manually install the standard (non-SMP) Kernel should issues arise using the SMP kernel.
