I'll answer a couple questions with one post. 1) SMP - I could probably prep my own kernal to deal with SMP, but I like "out of the box" solutions. :-) MEPIS-Pro should be coming out late December and is supposed to support SMP 2) The machine is dual-400MHz processors with a CDBurner, DVD drive, and two IDE hard drives. A 6.4Gig and an 80Gig. My goal is to have the root on the 6.4 and home on the 80. I'm sure there is a way to install on one drive and then move "/home" to the 80Gig, I just have to research it. I used to do that kind of stuff with IRIX years ago, but I've gotten rusty from non-use.
