thanks all for the explanations.

is good....

Hello all,
I'dd like to know what is an 'smp' kernel ?
Why are there 2 'smp' kernels and 2 'not smp' kernels in my /boot/
directory
?
Thanks...

SMP stands for "symmetrical multi-processing", or, in layman's terms
having more then a single physical (or logical) processing core. (Or
CPU).
I assume that you have a Pentium 4 with HT (Hyper-threading) capability.
(Which, in-order to improve performance, turns a single processor into
two logical processors).
An SMP kernel is required to support more then a single CPU. (Be that
physical or logical)
The Fedora installers puts two kernels, one with SMP support and one
without.
The normal SMP-less kernel is mostly used for troubleshooting. (Things
tend to break on SMP systems...)
