About SME Server
================
SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium
enterprises. SME Server is brought to you by Koozali Foundation, Inc., 
a non-profit corporation that exists to provide marketing and legal support 
for SME Server.

SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License and
is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community.
However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on
meeting our expenses, such as hosting costs, server hardware, etc.

As such, we ask for a donation to offset costs and fund further development.

a) If you are a school, a church, a non-profit organisation or an individual
using SME Server for private purposes, we would appreciate you to contribute
within your means toward the costs associated with hosting, maintenance and
development.

b) If you are a company or an integrator and you are deploying SME Server in
the course of your work to generate revenue, we expect you to make a donation
commensurate with the level of revenue you generate and the number of servers
your have in the field. Please, help the project

Please visit http://wiki.contribs.org/Donate to donate.

Koozali Inc is happy to supply an invoice for any donations received, 
simply email treasurer@koozali.org

Thanks
======
The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved
themselves with this release.

Notes
=====

1. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8.2
   will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware
   means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX;
   AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors
   are Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III; AMD Athlon,
   Athlon XP and later.

2. Some notes on SME Server 8.2 including help on upgrades can be found at
   http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8

3. Please note Upstream policy on Production Phase 3 for EL5. Only those
   security updates deemed crucial are now being released upstream for EL5
   (so also for SME8) The Koozali team recommends that you start moving
   workloads from SME Server 8 to SME Server 9. 
   Planned EOL for CentOS 5 is Mar 31 2017

4. Please note it may take up to 48 hours for mirrors to finish syncing,
   during this time you may experience problems.
   You can download SME Server 8.2 from
