   Since no one else has answered yet, I'll throw in that RedHat _does_
detect and support SMP machines.  By default RH6.1 installed the
2.2.12-20-SMP kernel with a UP kernel option in LILO.  This was on a Dual
P233MMX, Tyan Tomcat IV system.
   I'm not sure about other distros, but I've got a pile of CheapBytes
disks I need to try soon.
