Does the community edition support multiple processors?

I believe so. It is Linux based. I am running 4 Xeon Processors and all have activity.

and all 4 threads show up in 2.4.1

I'm using an Intel based quad core CPU and running the Community Edition of Endian 2.5.1. I'm not sue if the multiple cores are being recognized though. On the main dashboard screen, it only refers to "CPU 1". I don't see any mention of multiple processors when I access the NTOP interface, either. Is there some type of command line test to see if all four cores are being recognized?

I finally did some digging around to find a command line argument to detect if the Endian Community Edition is using more than a single one of the four cores of my Intel based CPU. It is not. I'm not sure which CPUs that the CE supports, but obviously mine is not one of them. I wish that the developers were a bit more forthcoming with details of how the distribution works. Seeing as the vast majority of the OS operates on open source software, not being able to compile code or make modifications needed to make the software run correctly on common hardware just doesn't seem in the true spirit (or meet the GPL legal requirements, for that matter) of an open source distribution.
