And it turns out that it’s not a CentOS issue at all.

I don’t think that anyone was saying that there’s *no* compatibility between CentOS and RHEL. In this case, there’s a small inconsistency between the two. Unfortunately, that small inconsistency can cause Zimbra installs on CentOS to fail in some cases.

One of the big benefits of CentOS is that you can theoretically drop in any RHEL package and it’ll work fine. When that breaks down, you need to talk to the CentOS folks to get their distro back in line with RHEL…

Thanks Jeff. Can’t wait till April then. Being the 2nd LTS release, it’ll be really interesting to see how Canonical’s efforts stack up to Red Hat’s offerings

8.04 (Hardy) will be the next LTS release, as announced last year… and so far, it’s right on time. We’ll have to wait and see what the final version number is! :-)
