If you are on 32-bit hardware, I recommend staying with CentOS 5.6...
but if you're insistent that you upgrade to version 6, who am I to argue...
Regardless, you are (pending 3rd-party development that may or may not
ever arrive) looking at a "clean install" to properly upgrade from
CentOS 5.x to CentOS 6. There does not (yet) exist a clean upgrade path
(any more than there was a clean upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows
Vista!)
But with regards to QMail, while trying to install on a CentOS 6 x86
(32-bit) OS, you will have the following "issues":
- PHP is updated to 5.3 (from 5.1) which causes many problems --
mostly for the toaster-admin package. Fixes are in the works, but if you
are used to the toaster's web-based interface, you'll be very unhappy in
CentOS 6 (the web interface is virtually blank, and therefore useless)
- If you use the vpopmail/bin command line utilities, you'll be fine
- MySQL is updated to 5.1 (from 5.0), which won't be a problem for
vpopmail, but may be a problem with other services or apps you may be
running
- BIND is updated to 9.7 (from 9.3), which wants to use DNSSEC -- if
you're not familiar with how to do that, you'll need to learn.
- If you're using the QMT recommended djbdns, this won't be a
problem, as you won't be using BIND at all
- The location of the RPMBUILD folder has changed -- depending on how
you partition your disk space, this may or not be an issue
- As noted in the earlier post, you can bypass the change with a
symbolic link -- these 3 commands are destructive, so should be used
only on a NEW CentOS 6 system and only used once:
rm -rf /root/rpmbuild /usr/src/redhat
mkdir -p /usr/src/redhat
ln -s ../usr/src/redhat /root/rpmbuild
- You should then be able to follow Natalio's outline and get QMT
running on CentOS 6 32-bit just fine! The dependencies are the same.
I hope this helps...

No, I have not installed it in 32 bits hardware.
