Sorry in advance.
Not a 'pure' Debian solution BUT one bsed on Debian. ClusterKnoppix will
auto sense multi-processors.

Good question ;-)
I guess that I have installed Debian
in the basic way:
1] how can I check this point ?
2] may I configure some files ?
3] may I build a new kernel ?
Thanks,

Sweet! I'll check it out and let you know what it's like... I was once a
big fan of Tyan boards but had to get away from them for a while because
they weren't releasing boards that were meeting my needs. Thanks for the
heads up!

personally i would always stick to intel, especially in a server

Greetings,
I am in the course of building a dual p3 system. What I've got now is a
TYAN 1832 dual processor board, specs are at
http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tiger100_p.html. It uses the Intel 440BX
AGPset, and is the same board that VALinux uses in their dual processor
system,

Hi,
dual processor systems are only really usefull when they have to perform
several tasks parallel. Unless your kids are planning to play heavy games
(if there are heavy games for X) a simple single processor system will do
fine. I think you will do better investing in much memory, because
is a good idea to use a dual processor board or is it
easier to maintain a single processor machine. I need the computer for
work. If you recommend a dual processor machine - what board would you
suggest? And what components I should use? My hardware-shop sells
taylor-made computers, so I can choose

Hi.
I can't recall any ps/2 model being able to run a dual processor setup,
definitely not the old ones. What the other socket is for is most likely a
coprocessor, or FPU, which would speed things up a bit when running programs
that have the capability of using an FPU, like CAD/CAM applica

OK
I've got three old IBM PS/2 #70s. There looks to be an extra socket for
a processor on the motherboard. I don't know if it would really help to
speed up the system or not as they only have 4 MB of RAM, or even if it
would work. I was thinking about trying to add a processor to one of

Yes this is true, to some extent. YOu have to have two processors with
the same stepping and revision in order to dual-proc them. I have heard
though, that you can have two processors of different stepping and
revision numbers and still multi-proc them, but your performance may
suffer a little.
