OS/2 v 4.5 is the "core base" for recent Warp Server release. It features
support for logical volumes management, Journaling File System, plus some
internal kernel design enhancements that indirectly result in decreased
performance (compare its memory requirements versus 4.0).

It's unlikely that this version will serve for "client" packages.
