IDL on Dual processor Linux SMP box? [message #11899]

Greetings:

I have been considering getting a dual processor Pentium II workstation
on which I would run Linux in SMP mode, mostly to use IDL. Does anyone
have any experience with such a configuration? I recall somewhere that
an IDL license on a x86 Linux box is tied to the Ethernet card address,
rather than the processor serial number (which perhaps Intel processors do
not report). If so, I could run IDL on both processors at the same time
under the same license, correct?

The system I may get is a Dell Precision Workstation 410 with dual
400 MHz processors, with the SCSI and video cards replaced with Buslogic
SCSI and Matrox Millenium II video cards for better Linux compatibility
(I can only get boxes from big-name companies, not from small-name Linux
specialists).

Thanks,
John Krist
