You need ot use SMP kernel. I know that Mepis provided one 2.6.11.6 I think. I don't know if it's still available. You could pick another one (not official) from www.mepislovers-wiki.org/mepislovers/downloads/kernels/2.6.13.3-smp/

Hi, I just saw your post and wanted to reply as it appears no one else has. Yes, Gnu/Linux supports multiprocessors (SMP) and that includes Mepis. SMP = symmetric multiprocessor, a term for multiple processors in a computer. I run a dual AMD Athlon Mepis and it is very snappy. Other distributions such as Suse and Red Hat also support SMP. Good luck.
