Does this beta release already include the much awaited iRedMail OSE?

Not yet.

We will release iRedAdmin-OSE-0.1 next week (hope so), and only ship it when we consider it's stable enough.
But there will be a shell script available (which you can copy it to iRedMail-0.5.0/extra/) to help admin setup iRedAdmin.

Does this beta release already include the much awaited iRedMail OSE?

iRedOS-0.5.0-CentOS-5.3-beta1 is available for testing, you can download it here:
http://www.iredmail.org/iredos/0.5.0/

Please report any bug and issue you found here.

Currently only i386 version is available, x86_64 version will be available from beta2.

Detail about this beta version:

• Based on CentOS 5.3, replaced packages with updated version. such as kernel, udev, python, httpd, apr-util, php, perl, etc.

• Ships iRedMail-0.5.0 (lastest version which checked out from google code repository)

As you see, ISO image filename is changed to follow the rule:

• 0.5.0: this is same as version number of iRedMail it shipps.

• CentOS-5.3: means this ISO is based on CentOS-5.3.

• i386: this is an i386 version.

We are considering providing Debian or Ubuntu based iRedOS ISO images, welcome to join us and make it possible
