Just a quick request...

Could somebody reply with a small update as to what the current
status of SMP support is in the 2.1 kernel tree?

I'm purchasing 4 dual Pentium-II servers my office and was hoping to
use linux on them. Is there anything I should know about that would
prevent one of the later 2.1.xx kernels for functioning well?

Are there any problems using the Intel EtherExpressPro 100 adapter
or the EATA-DMA SCSI driver under smp? Just wondering if the
network and DPT controller I ordered will have problems.

And lastly... I noticed the people are complainging of 2.9.9x locking
up. What would you suggest as to which 2.1.xx version to run that
will yield the most stability?

Thanks for your time,
