I apologize for the self-reply, but am I wrong here? I use mostly OpenBSD and linux only lives on servers that I don't physically see booting. I remember when I first starting using Linux, there would be one penguin for each processor core. Booting it up for the first time on a dual xeon machine and seeing 8 of them, was kindof funny in a nerdy way. Would this be different? If there are 512 cores...would it show a penguin for each core? Sorry, like I said, I haven't actually watched the boot process on a linux machine for quite some time, and now I'm a bit curious... Sorry if this question is juvenile or stupid or something.
