List,


I am experimenting with a Dual processor Supermicro and plan to use
CentOS 5 when it is released.  In the meantime I have installed Centos
4.4.  Sorry for asking such a basic question but what is the difference
between CentOS (2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp) and CentOS (2.6.9-42.0.8.EL)  Both
kernels have been installed, but I have not been able to find which one is
best to use for what purposes.


2.6.9-42.0.8.EL is for single cpu systems

2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp if for multiple cpu systems

A.
Is there even a point to using a non-smp kernel these days? The SMP kernel runs fine on single CPUs so I don't see what the advantage is.
