+ MHonArc as a contributed package with no additional support.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ <li><p>Vendor/distro versions of MHonArc tend not to reflect the
+ latest release since there is a latency between a new release
+ made available from
+ <a href="http://www.mhonarc.org/";>mhonarc.org</a>
+ to when vendors are able to download and
+ create their own packages. This difference can be important
+ depending on what MHonArc features or fixes you need.
+ </p>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>In general, if your vendor provides their own QA and support
+ services for the software they provide, it is usually best to use
+ the vendor's version of MHonArc. However, if the vendor does not
+ provide additional support, and/or you need the latest features
+ and fixes, you may want go with what is provided from
+ <a href="http://www.mhonarc.org/";>mhonarc.org</a>.
