So that beginners do not get the wrong idea I wish to make clear that Unix based systems are not designed to, and can not do parallel processing.

If you're going to bring this up, would you please clarify further?
The Linux kernel has supported symmetric multiprocessing since 1996.

Yes. My understanding is only at the casual level, but I've taken itthat multi-core CPUs are specifically designed to facilitatemultiprocessing and that Linux/Unix were and are way ahead of Windows intaking advantage of that and have been for a whole long time. Which iswhy M$'s own servers run Linux.
