    The questions in the above paragraph sound more kernel-specific than
    distro-specific. I've heard that the linux kernel devs have been
    working on hot-swappable hardware, but I don't know the details at all.

    If you go to www.google.com and search on "smp linux", you'll find a ton
    of information.
