Updated sysstat packages that fix various bugs and security issues are now available.

NOTE: This errata package also picks up a patch for the /lib64 problem which required a .WB1 package. This means that as of this release there is no longer any functional difference between the RHEL and WBEL package. The name is still a .WB2 so that up2date will notice it is newer.
(Thanks to Dragan D. Vecerina who noticed this naming problem over the weekend when the first errata version appeared.)

Pasi Pirhonen has released an AMD64 version of White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0

Here the full annoucement:

To make it short:

----- BEGIN QUOTE ----

The images are in place. Please make you own announcement as this is your work.

ftp://ftp.vslib.cz/pub/mirrors/whitebox.org/people/pasi.pirhonen/AMD64-RC1

The site ftp://ftp.vslib.cz has pretty abusive restrictions as working reverse DNS and correct e-mail address as password (don't use the name joe, the domain must be correct and exist etc). I was talking with local admin to remove these bits so we will see.

Release Candidate 2 of White Box Enterprise Linux 3.0 has been released.

Here the full announcement:

White Box Enterprise Linux Release Candidate 2 is now available.

The ftp mirrors will need some time to update, but BitTorrent downloads should be available NOW. Time to download and make sure any bugs you reported are squished and that nothing new that has crept in that might affect your intended use of the final release.

Yum and up2date are now in! For this release they both default to whiteboxlinux.org, which cannot service any sort of serious external load. Be sure to plug in one of the mirrors as soon as they catch up. There arecommented out entries in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources for both of the larger mirrors. Be sure to flip over to one of them if you expect to actually get your errata at a decent speed.
