What is the status of upgrade from 1.4-2 to 2.0? Also how long after this is released will 64bit arrive?

Tks in advance
Eric

There is no date set for the 64bit iso but we hope to have it ready soon. Anyway, take into account that you can install a regular 64bit Ubuntu Server and the Zentyal packages on it.

Regarding the upgrade from 1.4 to 2.0 we can not guarantee you if it will be smooth, but we can assist you during the migration if you buy our professional support (http://store.ebox-technologies.com/support.html).

I also think that you should keep up the work on the Zentyal desktop client that automatically configures a workstation for LDAP authentication against Zentyal.

Don't worry, we will work on that for sure after the 2.0 release.

Just thought this may be an opportune time to refresh my longstanding request for the ebox-desktop module to not be specifically tied to an Ubuntu distro. From my perspective it will be ideal if it can be made to work out-of-the-box on the widest range of Linux clients. 

Perhaps it might be possible to also include a section in the forthcoming docs/manual that covers in detail: 

• The client requirements
• The way in which it is constructed
• How it operates.

In turn this might then be extended by users contributing actual working examples of clients which work in a variety of of operating systems to augment the range  provided by default.
