Sorry, Nick, but once again you're showning your ignorance in your insatiable desire to "market" your favorite OS. FreeBSD is running on dual-processor Pentium machines in a number of places now, is being actively developed, and has made the development process fully public for awhile now through the freely subscribable mailing list, freebsd-smp@freebsd.org. Those interested in being BETA testers should send mail to that list. Thanks! -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
