[ale] SMP support for CentOS 4.0 i386

[Yu, Jerry]

if so, <= 2-way restriction for 'RHEL ES' is probably just marketing/sales gimmicks to force you to buy pricier AS version for >=3-way servers.

# CentOS is compiled from RHEL source. That source is still 
# GPL. I can't 
# see how RH can enforce something like that on the license. It 
# could be 
# possible that Redhat has changed the kernel code in such a 
# way, to only 
# use at most twoCPUs, but if that were the case nothing would 
# prevent you 
# from changing it back. I know the guys over at 
http://www.openfiler.org 
use CentOS as there base distribution for the OpenFiler project, you may 
want to ask those guys this question, they would probably know.

Unix IS user friendly - it's just picky about it's friends.
