[ILUG] Multiprocessor Boxes

[Garret Flynn]

Also, its simple to check when you have the box up and running.
Just cat /proc/cpuinfo and you'll get 2 processor reports (processor:0 and
 processor : 1 AFIAK) instead of the usual one report

I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a
fundamental error.  Be thankful you are not my student.  You would not get a
high grade for such a design :-)
