I am a relative novice when it comes to Linux...

Question: Running on a Dual Pentium 233 processor system. I was wondering if there are any normal compile switches that would use both processors to do a 'Make' with.

If it was compiled on a system with one processor and then run it on a dual processor system, will it take advantage of the extra CPU cycles?

Sorry if this sounds strange. I have an older system that locks up when I try to install W2K or NT4 on it if I have two processors installed. Under Linux, it doesn't lock up. The processors are on a riser-type card and the last time I installed RH 8.0, forgot to put the other processor back in.

Thanks,
