Red Hat Linux gets dual-core support

Red Hat has updated its commercial Linux product with support for chips with dual processing engines, called cores, from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. The dual-core support came in the first quarterly update, released Thursday, to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, according to an announcement on a Red Hat mailing list. Red Hat, the top Linux seller, began testing dual-core support in April.

In addition, the update now supports disk systems with more than 2 terabytes of capacity, Red Hat said in release notes.
