     RedHat 6.2 showed up too late in the development cycle to be
tested with CSuite 1.1.  Since backwards compatibility doesn't seem to
be a goal in the Linux world (a number of changes, which shouldn't have
been necessary, had to be made to the various programs in CSuite to
make them work with RedHat 6.1), RedHat 6.2 will not be officially
supported.  The officially supported OS'es for CSuite 1.1 will be
RedHat 6.1, Solaris 2.5+, and HP-UX 10.20 as those were the OS'es used
and tested during development.

     As for the exact date that CSuite 1.1 will be generally available,
I can't tell you at the moment.  Unfortunately, it has fallen somewhat
behind schedule, as volunteer projects sometime do (we are seeking
funding to correct this).  What I can tell you is that we are just
finalising the automated upgrade procedure, and a bit of
documentation.  We will also need to look into the FTP server security
problems that popped up recently.  Since there is very little left to
do, it should be out soon.

     Also, we are planning on a CSuite 1.2 release (to be released in
six months or so), to pick up on some of the things that we had to
leave out of CSuite 1.1, such as RedHat 6.2, support for NIS+, a
security sweep, etc.

} I would be interested in any chatting with any systems people
} out there who are using RedHat 6.2 with csuite, in particular 

     There aren't any that I know about.

} Is anyone using the official csuite 1.1 yet ??

     Since it isn't out yet the answer to this question would be "no".
However, if you're interested, you will find a very recent development
version running on RedHat 6.1 at csuite.tc.ca .
