to be problems. Requests for Opteron support, ipvs support and other
such things in the community project get denied because these types of
things are an "enterprise" level technology, and thus you _have_ to use
RHEL in order to get them. It seems that more and more server software
I think we need to remember that the Cambridge and Cambridge++
releases, while part of the new Red Hat Linux Project, will not be the
first "community" releases (in that the content of them is still
entirely Red Hat decided).
It will be the following release (guessing around April 2004) that
will be the first community release where the community will have had
the ability to include packages maintained by the community, and for
that matter include non-IA32 architectures maintained by the community
like AMD64 if the community decides to support them.
