Notice the '*' next to centos 4 and 5 and then the footnote ? Obviously they are sadly mistaken, 'cause as we all know they are almost identical to the Redhat EL 4 and 5 and therefore have almost identical frequency of updates.
They already know; read the forum thread http://www.scalix.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9394&postdays=0&postord...
In particular, on page 2 of that thread, the Scalix guy Florian says this: "We've started community/evaluation support for CentOS4/5 for 11.3, so that those Fedora users don't have to complain about having to upgrade their operating system with every Scalix upgrade. We'll fully support this for commercial use in the next version. "
In other words, as of Scalix 11.4, the next version, CentOS 4 and 5 will be fully supported in production, and 11.3 is supported for eval/community now (no more tweak needed to get it to install).
For 'supported' in this context, this means that Scalix will provide real commercial support if you use CentOS 4 or 5; you have, with a little tweak, been able to use Scalix on CentOS 4 and 5 for a long time; I've been using Scalix on CentOS 4 for quite a while now. It's just not 'officially supported' for production by scalix.
