operating systems without the need of preparing specific
packages with all the numerous small differences.

The original download site for Kolab Server 2.0 is
<a href="http://ftp.kolab.org/kolab/server/"
>ftp.kolab.org/kolab/server/</a>, but in order
to keep the load of this server low, <b>please use
one of the following mirror servers</b>. They
are updated on a daily basis.

<ul>

<h2>Structure of the download area</h2>
</a>

You will find 4 main sections:

<ul>
<li>stable: Stable releases of Kolab Server
<li>rc: Release candidates. Feature-complete and almost stable versions
    for final tests.
<li>beta: Almost feature-complete and mostly working versions.
<li>development: snapshots of ongoing developments.
</ul>

In each section you will find <b>directories for each release</b>,
e.g. "server/beta/kolab-server-2.0-beta-3/".

<p>
There you will always find a file "<b>release-notes.txt</b>" which
will inform you on the changes relative to the predecessor
release.

<p>
Next there always will be a directory "<b>sources</b>.
It contains all source-RPM packages as needed for
the OpenPKG environment. Also you will always find a
"<b>README.1st</b>" which contains quick install
instructions and hints on upgrades.

<p>
For some operating systems you might find additional
directories containing <b>pre-compiled packages</b> (e.g.
(server/beta/kolab-server-2.0-beta-1/ix86-debian3.0").
Using them usually considerably reduces installation time.

<p>
There is no gurantee that you will find specific pre-compiled
packages. They happen to be there in case trusted team members
have created and provided the packages.
