RedHat already provides up to date builds for RHEL. Not officially supported, but at least provided.. Also, the Fedora SRPMS rebuilds just fine on RHEL. The culpit with most RHEL users is that their management does not allow them upgrades outside RHEL, so they are stuck with whatever RedHat provides in their support channel. And for some reason most Centos users seems to reason the same, but without being bound to a support channel.. What I think we should do is to provide a repository of vendor distributions. There is many, and supricingly many users don't know where to find the latest version from their vendor. Regards Henrik signature.asc Description: Detta är en digitalt signerad meddelandedel

Virtualisation makes this task a bit less painful (ie, we could organise a 4gb-full desktop PC running VMWare and some PC-based OSes to start off. I've got space, power, cooling and bandwidth for it.) 'Name thy OS' would be those seen in squid-users where people are stuck with old 2.6 or 2.5 etc. The culprits seemed to be RedHat and CentOS.
