I've yet to report this properly with some evidence to back my thoughts up. > > It's running well for basic user authentication, smtp and IMAP and > coping as well as 2.3.39 did.

I started in April/May, but it's been a slow 6 or so months, squeezing in bits. There's still a lot to complete, but the PDF of 2.3 vs 2.4 has 80 pages difference ;-) Let's hope others read it. > Anyway, it's going to cost me a couple of days > to go through it and see what more OL 2.4 can mean for my production > systems than 2.3. > > I trust than Buchan will provide an srpm for Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora > people at http://staff.telkomsa.net/packages before long. > > Best, > > --Tonni > > -- > Tony Earnshaw > Email: tonni at hetnet dot nl >
