What distributions support dual processors 'out of the box' ?

Howdy:

I am trying to use an old dual pentium-pro motherboard as a file
server for a local government supported student project.

The system has dual 200 MHz Pentium-Pro processors.
I am currently attempting to enable SMP in a Slackware v9.1 distribution,
but I am having some difficulty. Instead, I am hoping to find
a distribution with SMP already enabled. Are there any?

Please, may I have some explanation or discussion about the warning
from 'make [old]config about the PentiumPro and SMP:

'Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro" architecture may not
work on all Pentium based boards.'

IOW, will my attempt to enable SMP with this PPro system
probably fail or be very difficult?
