Hi to all,
I want to install MS outlook on the gentoo. Can it possible to run MS outlook on gentoo-linux. If yes then how...??? Is any extra plugin required to do the same. My main concern is that i have to provide calendar sharing with MS outlook on linux box to one of my client..Please help me..I have heard about scalix, but i am not sure about it, there is one thing more openXchange also. But i have no idea about both of them. If any one can help me, please do sir. I will be very thankful to you all.
From your mails I still don't understand if you have client linux boxes where you want to run Outlook, or you have a linux server box where you want to place the shared calendar, with Outlook clients. Anyway, for each situation:
1. Windows Server running Exchange with Linux clients running Outlook: you need some piece of software that lets you run Outlook on Linux. You may try Wine, CrossOver Linux (from CodeWeavers)...
2. Server running Linux with Windows clients running Outlook: you need a groupware server that lets you use Outlook as a client. OpenGroupware and Kolab comes to mind, there are commercial plugins that lets you connect Outlook to both of them.
3. Neither of the two above: if what you really want to do is to share calendars, but you may have linux on the server and client side and use other software instead of Outlook, take a look at the list of supported clients for the groupware server you choose. Novell Evolution and KDE Kontact are both groupware clients with similar interface and functionality resembling Outlook, and they can connect to OpenGroupware and Kolab IIRC.
HTH, best regards
Jose
