Hi,
Redhat 3 update 5 may be what you are looking for (dual core support). Please note, this may not be the right list for these questions, the redhat kernel is something very different from the www.kernel.org kernel (same applies to suse/mandrake....)
Best regards

Hallo, Linux folks! (first post here) I am trying to find out whether I can start using dual-core cpus with a 2.4 kernel (Red Hat EL 3). Three questions below - please answer if you have any insight. - The first update to EL 4 announced "support" for dual core cpus both from AMD and Intel, but doesn't say what that support means. I would think with the right BIOS, the OS might distribute all tasks among all cores right out of the box, as long as you don't need any special parallel computing capabilities. Or will the kernel just not recognize the second core? - The most recent update to EL 3 (which is what I am using) does not say anything about dual-core. Does that mean there is no chance it will run on a dual-core chip, because it has kernel 2.4? - My application is multi process server type stuff. I'd like to use Intel dual chip boards. Are there any Intel dual chip dual-core solutions you can buy? I haven't found one yet. Cheers Hubert Schwarthoff
