[tariqf]

hi guys just to let you know we are doing a respin of sme64 based off sme8 stable this week, and then another respin based off centos 6.3 will be attempted. will update on here when we have links for download. as soon as i get time i will up them to a new site on sme64.org. we also have another spin with sogo and a few other bits we use included which i will stick on.

sincerely, I don't/can't understand why you are doing it on a separate site instead of joining the devs..

could you please explain? thank you

tariqf: That's fantastic work! Let me know if I can assist in any way (testing, base OS or contribs).

I must say that I agree with Stefano on the website part.
Why host a new domain if it can contribute to the development of a new branch of SME OS'es.
I think this is a great initiative and must be supported by the main SME developers too.

Keep up the good work!

its up on sme64.org now for dl. suggest testing a fair bit before you put in production. works fine for me so far.

id be happy to put it on contribs if someone can tell me how, i tried before but we dont have time to do a yum repo and other bits which i seem to remember is what stopped us getting in on contribs before. so its just on sme64.org if anything just so i have somewhere do dl it when i need.

when i get time i will be integrating sogo and kvm
