The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Another point of attention: The distribution has no impact on Sympa 
administration. Around 45 % of installs are under Redhat (or Fedora, 
centos, etc.), 45 % under Debian (or Ubuntu and the like) and most of 
the 10% remaining are FreeBSD.

The only impact of distribution is which Sympa version is packaged.

About it, Soji maintains the RPM, so RedHat can always have the latest 
version packaged, but you need to set up the dedicated repository. I 
don't know how it works for Debian if you want the latest version 
packaged. It seems that current version in Debian is something like 
6.2.40 which is good enough.

Personally, I always install from sources, so I don't care and use 
Ubuntu servers.

Cheers!

David
