"Supported" is wrong. See also "bleeding edge and up to date" below. > BTW, packaging for RHEL5 really sucks.

I don't think you understand: that is the side-effect of "long-term supported and maintained". RHEL 6 will be like that in 5 years, too. Or you can have Fedora N (or Debian unstable or better, LFS) that's bleeding edge and up to date. There are problems with that. > One of the best examples is OpenLdap. 2.3.42 that gets shilled with RHEL5 > is way old and doesn't support such critical features as syncrepl for > example. You're better off with heartbeat/drbd ldap cluster anyway. Things like password aging are way more interesting (in Chinese sense).
