Hi Lawrence,
Personally I use RPM's on Opensuse and I'm running 3.4.4.2 which is pretty recent to be honest. (..) However, the down side is that I cannot run SMP mode (for some reason I think the RPM is not compiled with it) as well as I am stuck running this version until someone builds a new RPM.
This thread started when I offered a contribution for allowing SMP mode
from the rpm packages. :-)
Are your issues related to SELinux or APParmour? If post them on the
list someone may help you with them and the fix may be incorporated to a
later rpm package.
