SMP Kernel for SuSE 9.3?
I have just installed SuSE 9.3 on an older test machine, and I am IMPRESSED. This is a very nice distro, and almost everything "just works", which is great, after struggling to get other distros to recognize hardware and so on.
I am seriously considering replacing my the environment on my day-to-day working computer with SuSE 9.3. My main computer has a Pentium IV with HT - this can take advantage of an SMP kernel, since the Pentium IV with HT enabled looks like two CPUs. Its current Mandrake 10.1 has an SMP kernel, and there was a *noticeable* performance improvement when I installed it instead of the standard non SMP kernel. I am hoping for the same "kick" to SuSE, as my one complaint is that it is a bit slow to boot and run.
Does SuSE 9.3 have an SMP kernel? Where may I get it? I have checked via YaST's available packages list, and via its YOU online update, but there doesn't seem to be an SMP kernel. Thanks!
