Does anyone know if 386bsd supports dual pentium processors?
Not just will it run on a machine with dual pentiums but will it take
advantage of both CPU's.
No, it will not.
No free "unix" will, yet (at least in a generally useful fashion).
Currently, something like Solaris, UnixWare, or SCO (not including
Windows NT) are probably your only choices on a multi-processor PC.
