Symmetric Multi Processing yes, SMT no. Enlighten me.

If the above is about SMP, then its wrong. SMP was in the
kernel long before RH shipped it because it was in a
development kernel and RH doesn't ship development kernels.

People have been saying "the sky is falling" for a long time

Everyone seems to assume that the current system in America is capitalism.
I beg to differ. True capitalism does not involve false advertising,
distribution cartels, or political lobbying for special advantages in the
market. How can you call Microsoft or the RIAA capitalist, when their main
business is interfering with a free market? Some of us would like to see a
*return* to capitalism in this country. - Jim Flynn on Linuxtoday.com
