DELL now has ubuntu/debian packages for OMSA 6.4

Due this we don't do any development

OMSA 2 deb

The SURFsara OMSA Debian/Ubuntu? package is a recreation of the Dell Open Manage Server Administrator package suit. From the Dell rpm packages we created one Deb based package suitable for most Debian/Ubuntu? systems.

For now we have two release:

  1. 5.5.0 works on debian distributions etch and higher, tested on 1850, 1950 and m600
  2. 6.0.1 works in debian distributions lenny and higher, tested on 1850, 1950, m600 and m610

NOTE: A lot of people ask us when SURFsara will port a newer (currently 6.2) OMSA version to Debian. The answer for now is we wait for a more stable release because we see a lot of problems with the newer version for example the structure has changed a lot.
