You're not crazy, after all Linux is already running on bigger iron and
about to run on Sun's E10000. However you should checkout again what
hardware you actually have on your system. A Challenge L is mostly like
an Indy (which is supported), that is strictly uniprocessor. So
your system either is not a multiprocessor system or not a Challenge L.
