All, Here is a request for Zimbra to provide official CentOS support: http://bugzilla.zimbra.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23487 Here is a poll that might help them see how many CentOS Customers they REALLY have: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/14136-foss-edition-most-popular-linux-distro.html I am not asking for anyone to do anything mean, or to say anything untrue, in fact, please don't. I am asking that if you use Zimbra on CentOS (either the Free Version or the Network Version) that you let them know that you are. If you would pay for Official support, let them know that too.

I can see the reason that you would take it personally but they don't mean it personally, it's just typical of another proprietary software company shirking responsibility...no more, no less. They surely could support CentOS and it's obvious after a bit of inspection that the problem that they are experiencing is not just CentOS but also RHEL. I think what this really says is that CentOS is really popular and the issues were more obvious on CentOS because of the number of people using Zimbra with CentOS. I think you may see an alarming trend to this...where companies are seeing more problems with CentOS than RHEL simply because there are more people using CentOS...I wonder. Craig

[CentOS] Do we have any Zimbra users on the list?

But, I haven't figured out if I want to use Zimbra or Scalix. I haven't spent much time investigating, though.
