CONFIG_SCHED_MC=y CONFIG_X86_PC=y ? (if wrong, what should I set for Xeon QuadCore) CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=not set CONFIG_SCHED_MC=y RESOURCES_64BIT=not set HOTPLUG_CPU=not set I didn't start this yet (still with Mac, will install in weekend), is this correct one? [OT] I don't know if I can ask about a suggested distro here or not? Anyway, me read that Fedore & Yellow Dog suits well for this?
