Slackware & SMP or what is the difference bethween SW and RH ?
I'm trying to use slackware for heavy calculations (mathematical models - MM5 ...), but I can't put my box in parallel.
I've used different versions of 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, compiled for SMP on different boxes (Intel xeon & AMD opteron)
The same software runs fine on red hat 7 till fedora 5.
What is the difference between SW and RH ?

What is the difference between SW and RH?
BSD init system as opposed to System V ?
are you trying to setup SMP or use a dual processor capable software package?
pats 2.6.17.3 kernel now supports SMP and dual core (up to 16 cores)

Not that, but just difference in parallel computing - NPTL/linuxthreads

Only the second one - multi processor capable software package

I've compiled and ran successfuly (by my mind) 2.4 and 2.6 and have used precomliled one what came with Slack 11.0. There were no diffrernce.
