  No SMP, but that's only because we have a 2.6 kernel (as we should).

  I wouldn't throw a lot of money at sparc32; Aurora 3.0 will likely be our 
last release supporting it, due to a long-dead upstream.  Sad, I know, but 
there's not much we can do without someone babying the kernel side of 
things. :-(
