Does it? FreeBSD doesn't support SMPs. However, if you have the source code for the application, you might want to try it out on Linux. The later 1.3.* kernels in Linux have support for SMPs. For more info about Linux, check out: http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/ news:comp.os.linux.answers For more info about SMP Linux, a starting point is: http://www.linux.org.uk/SMP/title.html For info about SMP under Linux, you should subscribe to the Linux SMP mailing list. To subscribe, send e-mail to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu. In the body of your message, put: subscribe linux-smp Sorry if you were only looking for a *BSD solution. Linux is the only commonly used free-UNIX available on PCs which has SMP capability. Take care, -- Nick Kralevich nickkral@cory.eecs.berkeley.edu
