63  =======================  Notes
64  The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling reasons  =====
65  not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they want because of  
66  the Samba and PHP versions constituted a compelling reason.  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  Samba 3.4.3: has been updated from sources provided by ClearOS.     means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX;
69  This version of samba provides support for Windows 7 domain logins.     AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors

71  PHP 5.2.10: is provided by the Red Hat Application Stack v2.     Athlon XP and later.
72  5.2 is needed by recent web applications such as OScommerce.

74  LDAP authentication: third party applications can authenticate against     http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8

76  from SME databases.  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
