Re: New mailing list and online documentation

Hello Pasi,

The installation that I described below is a Kolab demo/test 
environment. In a more professional environment you want to run it on 
RHEL8. We are cleaning up and modernizing the complete packaging/release 
system and OBS, and we try to get rid of much of the legacy in that area 
as well.

So to answer more directly: Yes, it is planned to switch Kolab 4 to 
RHEL8 and RHEL9 base later on?

Sincerely

Mads
