An interesting link for the upcoming EL5.

OpenMP is a standard with precompiler directives for multithreading. From what I recall 
from my previous W*ndows programming days it was for Fortran and C++. I haven't checked if 
it is provided for other languages since then, but anyway. :-) In any case, it is about 
the programmer providing specific multithreading guarantees about the execution of 
specific code.


BTW, I read in a Fedora web page that they compile its binaries with specific flags. Are 
the flags used for compiling SL the same as the flags used for EL?
