Hi,

> What do people want to discuss?

Some point's I have:

- SL 5.2
	Has it better HVM support in XEN ?
		Not clear from the TUV beta releasenotes
		(for example both the GPL and Novell PVM drivers do not work with 5.1)

- Kernel Modules:

	On a kickstart install which includes also the security repo, the actual
        kernel will be installed, but there is a big chance that old afs and
        fuse modules will be installed instead of the correct ones.

	Wouldn't it be better to change them to use the dkms?

- SL on the desktop:
	It's really good to have a long term support also on Desktop, but some
	applications are a so fast moving target that this let come up the Ubuntu
        Creep:

	- firefox / thunderbird : can we switch to 2.x

	- Openoffice	- 	Version 2.3 or 2.4?

- Basing on CentOS beginning with SL6 ?


Sincerly,
Klaus
