Intel MP machine support is planned and will probably be released in ALPHA form (as patches to 2.2-current) fairly soon. A couple of dual-Pentium machines are proof-of-concept code, but nothing ready for the mainstream users yet. 2. It will also probably be in 2.2. 3. I can't say for sure when 2.2 will be released, but late summer is our current target. -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
