My experience with Debian (most current version being 3.1/Sarge) is that there are pre-built kernel packages that can be installed depending on the kind of CPU actually installed on the computer. This especially included kernel packages that supported symmetric multiprocessors (SMP). I don't see any such thing for Ubuntu. How are such customizations handled in Ubuntu? Is it possible that users have to compile their own kernel to get SMP support?
