SME Server is freely available under the GNU General Public License and is only possible through the efforts of the SME Server community.

Koozali Inc is happy to supply an invoice for any donations received, simply email treasurer@koozali.org Thanks ====== The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved themselves with this release. Notes ===== 1. CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8.2 will not work on i586 hardware. [See bugzilla:2845]. i586 hardware means processors before and including Intel Pentium, Pentium MMX; AMD K5, K6, K6-II, K6-III and Via C3. i686 architecture processors are Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III; AMD Athlon, Athlon XP and later. 2.
