63    Notes
64    =====
65    
66    1. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8.2
67       will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware
68       means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX;
69       AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors
70       are Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III; AMD Athlon,
71       Athlon XP and later.
72    
73    2. Some notes on SME Server 8.2 including help on upgrades can be found at
74       http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8
75    
76    3. Please note Upstream policy on Production Phase 3 for EL5. Only those
77       security updates deemed crucial are now being released upstream for EL5
78       (so also for SME8) The Koozali team recommends that you start moving
79       workloads from SME Server 8 to SME Server 9.
80       Planned EOL for CentOS 5 is Mar 31 2017
81    
82    4. Please note it may take up to 48 hours for mirrors to finish syncing,
83       during this time you may experience problems.
84       You can download SME Server 8.2 from
