Obviously, your hardware configuration must be sufficient to support your expected user load, but there's nothing in the software that enforces a such a limit. M> 2- what about the above story about using linux with multi processor M> computer(does it diferent price for diferent number of processors)? There is no limit on the number of processors that will operate under Red Hat Linux. However, the number of processors officially supported by the base Red Hat Linux product is two, while the number for Red Hat Linux Advanced Server is eight. But keep in mind that this is just a limit for purposes of technical support; I'm not aware of anything that was done to enforce these numbers in the software itself (and besides, being open source, you could just rebuild the software with such limits removed)...
