Hi,
There are a plethora of Linux distros out there. I want one which
is optimised for dual core. I am going to get a system which is going
to run on Pentium T2300, 1.66 Ghz Dual core having 1GB RAM.
Specifically I would like to know distros which can make optimal use of
both the cores.

Thanks in advance

All of them.

Multiprocessor support is part of the kernel so every Linux distribution
has good support. The kernel has to be compiled with SMP support but I
don't know of any mainstream Linux distro that won't automatically install
an SMP kernel when it detects a dual core processor.


BTW wait a month before getting your system, the Core2 Duo is
coming out at the end of July.
