Actually, here you are wrong. Linux can handle a LOT more CPUs via SMP
than NT can. Whats NT's limit? 4? or is it 6?
Linux 2.0 supported up to 16processes and I think this has gone up a tad
with 2.2.x

An alpha? wow I mean linux runs on those too, and sgi machines and powerpc
and ....

Bet you cant boot up NT4 on a 386 in under 5mins.
