I've also got an SMP system and was surprised that Ubuntu didn't install an SMP
kernel
automatically. Unless there is a reason why an SMP kernel couldn't be the
default one
then I'd think it right that it should be (configured for say a max of 4 CPUs -
that means
that the largest sensible desktop config would be catered for - i.e. a dual chip
hyperthread
or more usefully dual chip, dual core).
Dual cores are going to be with us in force in the lifetime of this release!
