49 About SME Server
50
51 ================
52
53
54
55 SME Server is the leading Linux distribution for small and medium
56
57 enterprises. SME Server is brought to you by Koozali Foundation, Inc.,
58
59 a non-profit corporation that exists to provide marketing and legal support

61 for SME Server.
62
63
64
65 SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License and
66
67 is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community.
68
69 However, the availability and quality of SME Server is dependent on

84
85 development.
86
87
88
89 b) If you are a company or an integrator and you are deploying SME Server in
90
91 the course of your work to generate revenue, we expect you to make a donation
92
93 commensurate with the level of revenue you generate and the number of servers
94
95 your have in the field. Please, help the project

125 Notes
126
127 =====
128
129
130
131 1. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8.2
132
133 will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware
134
135 means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX;
136
137 AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors
138
139 are Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III; AMD Athlon,
140
141 Athlon XP and later.
142
143

146
147 http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server_8
148

151 3. Please note Upstream policy on Production Phase 3 for EL5. Only those
152
153 security updates deemed crucial are now being released upstream for EL5
154
155 (so also for SME8) The Koozali team recommends that you start moving
156
157 workloads from SME Server 8 to SME Server 9.
158
159 Planned EOL for CentOS 5 is Mar 31 2017
160
161
