|
|
Testers Please Note the following... |
| 26 |
|
|
|
| 27 |
|
|
1. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8 |
| 28 |
|
|
will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware |
| 29 |
|
|
means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX; |
| 30 |
|
|
AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors |
| 31 |
|
|
are Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III; AMD Athlon, |
| 32 |
|
|
Athlon XP and later. |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
2. Upgrading from previous releases should only be done on clean |
| 35 |
|
|
machines without contribs or other modifications. Issues with |
| 36 |
|
|
upgrading from clean SME machines can be reported in the bug |
| 37 |
|
|
tracker, but detailed reviews of upgrading paths will not start |
| 38 |
|
|
until Release Candidate versions are made available. |

About SME Server |
| 45 |
|
|
================ |
| 46 |
|
|
|
| 47 |
|
|
SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium |
| 48 |
|
|
enterprises. SME Server is brought to you by SME Server, Inc. |
| 49 |
|
|
( http://www.smeserver.org/ ), a non-profit corporation that exists to |
| 50 |
|
|
provide marketing and legal support for SME Server. |
| 51 |
|
|
|
| 52 |
|
|
SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License |
| 53 |
|
|
and is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community. |
| 54 |
|
|
However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on |
| 55 |
|
|
meeting our expenses, such as hosting costs, server hardware, etc. |
| 56 |
|
|
|
| 57 |
|
|
As such, we ask for a small donation to offset costs and fund further |
| 58 |
|
|
development. |

Thanks and a plea for help |

|
|
========================== |
| 65 |
|
|
|
| 66 |
|
|
The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved |
| 67 |
|
|
themselves with this beta release. At this stage in development the role |
| 68 |
|
|
of testers is vital; the final release date and the stability and quality |
| 69 |
|
|
of the new version depend on full and thorough testing by all levels of |
| 70 |
|
|
users, right from beginners who may be confused by, and draw the developers |
| 71 |
|
|
attention to, insufficiently transparent system design, up to seasoned |
| 72 |
|
|
and skilled users who can probe the system deeply. Bug triage and |
| 73 |
|
|
verification testing needs lots of community involvement; please try to |
| 74 |
|
|
spare some time to this vital aspect of our community's future. |
| 75 |
|
|
|
| 76 |
|
|
This release, which is based on a major update of CentOS, contains |
| 77 |
|
|
many new features. Please run Software Installer in Server Manager |
| 78 |
|
|
regularly during testing to be sure your system reflects the latest stage |
| 79 |
|
|
of development. |
