Almost any modern Linux distribution I can think of will have an SMP
kernel for running across multiple processors. I don't think you can
dedicate processors to specific tasks, though I think this ultimately
happens if a CPU intensive-process is running--it will end up mainly
on one processor and everything else will run on the others.
There's obviously more on MP under Linux on sites like Linux.com, any
of the Kernel note sites, etc.
