Can any one help me out
Whether Linux can be installed on a Intel Xeon processor machine.
If so from what kernel version the support is provided.
I dont know what is the difference between Xeon and x86
We're running Slackware 9.0 on a dual Xeon 2.4Ghz w/ hyperthreading! The problem seems to be that the current 2.4.x series of kernels have absolutely crap support for the hyperthreading and although we get a report of 4 processors the performance increase is unfortunately not there In the current 2.5.x series of kernels (got a feeling that it was implemented in 2.5.66 but Im not sure on that) there is a hypertheading patch applied which apparently has a 30% performance increase. I unfortunately cant try this on my box as its a games server used in a commercial setting.
