  About SME Server
  ================
  SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium
- enterprises.
+ 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 small donation to offset costs and fund further
+ 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.
- Thanks and a plea for help
+ Koozali Inc is happy to supply an invoice for any donations received,

+ Thanks
+ ======
  The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved
- themselves with this beta release. At this stage in development the role
+ themselves with this release.
- of testers is vital; the final release date and the stability and
- quality of the new version depend on full and thorough testing by all
- levels of users, right from beginners who may be confused by, and draw
- the developers attention to, insufficiently transparent system design,
- up to seasoned and skilled users who can probe the system deeply. Bug
- triage and verification testing needs lots of community involvement;
- please try to spare some time to this vital aspect of our community's
- future.
- This release, which is based on a major update of the CentOS Core,
- contains many new features. Please run Software Installer in Server
- Manager regularly during testing to be sure your system reflects the
- latest stage of development.
- Major changes in beta 6
+ Notes
- =======================
+ =====
- The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling
- reasons not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they
- want because of the Samba and PHP versions constituted a compelling
- reason.
- Samba 3x:
- The Samba packages have reverted to those provided by CentOS to simplify
- the support needed. This version of samba provides support for Windows 7
- domain logins. http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8#Upgrading_samba
+. 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.
