I thought you were talking about one thing with the term Document
Management Systems then it appeared to be something else entirely
when I used the link you provided which took me to Google's software page
for search engines.
In my office we deal with a lot of documents - most of which our clients
bring. To keep our filing down - we opted
for a system that, while not a *nix solution, has been pretty good. I
haven't looked but there is
probably a similar one in the OSS world. We use a product called
eFileCabinet. It uses a sheet fed scanner
along with some (proprietary) software to scan and store documents in a PDF
format indexed with a searchable database.
It's fast, simple to use and while a little pricey has paid for itself in
two years in our office.
The software also creates a pseudo "printer" so anything you can send to a
printer can be put directly into the eFileCabinet
without having to scan and store.
There are two problems with out shop. One is blob versioning, we have a
large amount of documents in all sorts of formats (.cad, .xcl, .doc, .etc)
that need to be taged with engineering and meta- data and filed in a pretty
complicated draft/release/versioning system.
The other is access and permissions, only certain ppl are allowed to see
certain things.
The Google Enterprise stuff has some pretty kick-ass features and sells a
"mini" version for small businesses at under 2 grand...

Just my 2p.
