Oooh, yes! So 2.6 will be just fine for my smp dsl router... Seriously, we are getting closer to the day notebooks start shipping with multi-core processors, and it's not beyond belief that a dsl router would benefit from this as well. I.e., super-high processing power, but hardly any memory/flash required. Xmeta, listening? What better geek trophy than a 4-way notebook. -- Daniel - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
