Major Changes
- CentOS 5 has dropped support for i586 and therefore SME Server 8 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.
