Anybody run the twain together?

I've still got that Daystar processor card that I want to do something cool with, and I'm thinking - because I've been on a *ubuntu kick lately - that it would be fun to drop some flavor of Ubuntu on it with a MP-support-enabled kernel...

Has anybody else here done that and have any pointers to share?

Peace,
Drew

Debian might be a better candidate for this SMP Mac.
Aye, on a 9500/180MP - Debian looks like this

Not much to share, other than the current debian kernels are all SMP anyway, it runs, and it runs a good bit better than a single CPU machine Smile.
