(re-adding debian-kernel to the cc list; I don't know why it was
dropped)
Sure - and its possible to buy N-way systems with only one processor in
them. As far as I know, there are no cases where an SMP kernel wouldn't
just work on a single CPU system. What I'd like to know is if there's
any significant performance impact in running these machines with an SMP
kernel.
