Nope, all severs are slackware (and I dont have any problem which was my point in earlier thread, no reason why 1.2.17 can't still be suitable for years to come) used to have some gentoo as well, but phased them out to keep everything uniform, and desktops are almost now all opensuse, and once ubuntu stop supporting 10.04 those couple will be converted to opensuse as well (and thats only "then" because I'm too lazy to do it "now" LOL)
:)
i just prefer opensource that is not precompiled as server platform, mostly what is precompiled needs to be recompiled to support what i need anyway, thats why i use gentoo/funtoo/freebsd :=)
and yes i found that opensuse is more nice one to keep as desktop os aswell
I build from sources all key daemon software anyway, package maintainers can only account for so many configurations. Its not so critical with dovecot now since v2, because, regrettably, Timo removed a lot of fine tune config options that allowed us to only build in what we wanted, now, tuff, most the auth methods and stuff must be built even if we dont want them.
shit happens, he does not like opensource then ?, what was a major show stopper for me was the splited config that needs whole new layout to keep the old 1.x style config to work in 2.x, and gentoo infra just ignored my call for help geting it back as long Timo keeps wiki for 1.x
hope it makes sense to other why
But if we absolutely must need a new feature that is in 2.1.x and we can no longer live without it, then and only then will I consider moving to it, otherwise, I'm happy to sit on 1.2 until I consider 2.1 mature and stable enough.
same here, but i try to see how 2.x works here if i get succed with it i properly change to dovecot 2.1 when i build a new server, but change the stable one, no thanks
