SME7 on Centos 4
Beginning with SME 7 Alpha 21 SME is already based on CentOS 4, so this information from Greg is outdated now.

My experience upgrading a clean install of SME 7.0a3 (based on Centos-3.4) to Centos-4.
I set up a yum repository here:
http://www.contribs.org/contribs/gswallow/SME7-Centos4/yum/Notes/Warnings
I just did this to see what would happen. I'll leave this page the way it is, but if you are interested in helping with development of the SME server, it would be best to focus your efforts on the 7.0a3 (Centos-3.4) release, not try to use Centos-4. The plan is to move to Centos 4 after the Centos 3.4 port is fully developed, and there is much left to do.

- - Please don't post questions in the forums about this - please use the devinfo mailing list or the sourceforge mailing list to discuss future development
- - The kernel_ppp_mppe-modules rpm is made only for i686
- - FTP, SSH, Webmail, Mysql, httpd (apache) all seem to work initially. You can access the server-manager.
