Yeah, stick to centos and don't try Debian or ubuntu unless you want to rebuild the kernels for more CPUs.
I asked where all my CPUs were about a year ago on an 4 CPU Quad core.

Subject: [Cialug] One of my new servers
I'm starting to build up one of my new servers (a Quad 6-core box with 64GB of ram). Has anyone ever worked on a linux box this big that has any advice on gotchas that might get me due to the massive number of CPU's and RAM. I'm running 64 bit centos 5.3 and it seems to be working fantastic ... almost too easy :)
