Hi Ben, We have a few clients on CentOS 6.7. Most are on CentOS 7.2. Distro supplied kernels only. We are also phasing out CentOS 6.x
The bulk of our clients are Windows 7 workstations. We are most worried about the support for Windows 10 and onwards, but this is probably another story. Thank you (everyone!) for your efforts in supporting OpenAFS over the years. -Kostas On 05/06/2016 08:14 PM, Benjamin Kaduk wrote: > Hi all, > > OpenAFS has generally tried to provide a software that is compatible with > a wide range of new and historical operating systems; it is only recently > (March 2015) that we removed support for Linux 2.4. > > The current linux support is all bundled in as "Linux 2.6", since there > has not been a major version boundary with drastic changes since then, > rather, a continual evolution with some changes affecting us in most > releases.
