I am running Linux on dual Pentium Pro configurations. You need
to recompile the kernel after editing the Makefile by hand, 
uncommenting the line that gives you SMP support.

Even though the SMP support is considered experimental, I have
a server running the SMP kernel with uptime of 2 months. It has
never crashed. It is a NFS server for about 20 other linux machines.
