Good point. KnoppMyth is debian based, so there are usually lots of 
package mirrors, if needed. But I haven't touched the packages on my 
backend in a LONG time, aside from one package.

It supports my dual core P4 (Prescott core) just fine, it has SMP 
support built into the kernel, so it should just work. My *only* 
complaint about KnoppMyth is it has a pre-set idea of how to layout the 
boot disk, and it's not ideal, but it works, and isn't terribly hard to 
fix afterwards. It doesn't use LVM or anything fancy, which is nice if 
you just want something basic.
